To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" Snug under the Dom in a costly tomb Frau Richermondt is laid. The glare of the day has past away, And a mass for her soul has been said. 'Tis deep midnight when the noisome sprite Plays leapfrog over the grave, What man then is here who seems not to fear The wrath of the dead to brave? He kneels him down by the sculptured stone The heap with a crowbar turning. Of the faltering moon he's missed the light. But his bull's-eye 's dimly burning. G 2 84 'Twas the sexton, and few were the things he ...spoke And he breathed not a word of sorrow; But he said—" if I cabbage that ring to night I shall be all the richer to-morrow! " He tugged at the finger on which did linger The gold-encircled stone, Then drew from his pocket a knife to unlock it By paring the flesh from the bone. But scarce was the blade to the cold skin laid Ere — horror of horrors to tell I The death-cold claw grasped the sexton's paw, And the knife from his clutches fell. Well! what did he do ? just as I, sir, or j-ou Would have done in a similar plight, In a swoon he fell down on the cold clammy stone And in falling banged out his light.
