What reading level is Verses book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There's a dungeon of pitiless Fate Where Life waxes pallid and wan And Ignorance closes the gate On the hopeless condition of man. Oh, the brain with its stress and its strain, Its weariness, madness, and pain Only God from above with his might and his love Can enlighten the depths of the brain.
SLEEP SONG.
For those who are suffering and sore, For those who are weary and weep, A guest from the infinite shore Comes the spirit of cradling sleep.
With visions of beauty that bring Their balm from ...the isles of the blest, Where angels in ministry sing The souls of the tortured to rest ; Where those we have loved and have lost Await us in fields of delight, Till the tides of the ether are crossed And hope has been quickened to sight; 56 VERSES.
Where the stars of the morning rejoice In the brightening breast of the skies, Where the cherubim utter their voice, The antiphonal seraph replies.
As fresh as the zephyrs that bear The bird on the winnowing wing To the limitless regions of air Where mountains in majesty spring; As strong as the billows that roll The form in their beryl abyss, Where currents of ocean control And powers of eternity kiss; As bright as the radiant pearl That comforts the murmuring shell, As white as the wings that unfurl From the wandering nautilus shell; As soft as the gentle monsoon That breathes on the Indian isle, As silent as rays of the moon On the bowers of Paradise smile; As fragrant as clouds of perfume That waft from the altar of gold, As pure as the joys that consume The soul with their rapture untold ; As sweet as the dew of the morn That lights on the lip of the rose, As clear as the eye of the fawn Comes the power of perfect respose.
