To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" I know that eye which on me turns Is fixed beneath a wild'ring spell, I know that tongue impassioned burns To word a thought 't is vain to tell ; I know what shadow dims thy brow. And yet, and yet unkind in me, I breathe a prayer, I lisp a vow, — Still not for thee, .no, not for thee." Died down the sky the blush of day. As soft the mournful music rang, While Echo still was heard to say The sad'ning words the siren sang ; And ever thus the sounding string Was answered by the tell-tale lea, " ...I wind a wreath, I wear a ring, — But not for thee, no, not for thee." THE LAST LOOK. She wept beside the couch of him Who won her bridal vow, While Death, like ray of starlight dim, Slept palely on his brow. Unto thy side once -more I come Bird-like to find my nest ; The weary turtle seeks the home She built upon thy breast. I cannot bear to live away From that dear smile of light, Too sadly drags the long, long day. Too lonesome wears the night. How shall I bide the world's bleak storm When its tempest shakes my heart?
