What reading level is Young Ivy On Old Walls; a book of Verse book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:


Unconsciously, for black Illusion's spell ; False argument builds up, — the brain deranged, — A false belief that serves Hell's purpose well.
Dark spirits haste to drug the human food And mingle Lethe with the earthly wine ; Delirious desire leaps up, flame-hued.
Devouring greedily the spark divine.
That awful Presence with the fiery brand Is but a parable ; yet easier far To overcome such visible command Than press against an imseen scimitar !
And still, at times, some pure, exalting strain Fl
...oats o'er the walls, creating vague unrest ; Reviving longings that too long have lain In deep, unnatural slumber, in the breast.
And then, perhaps, some few fiower-petals swim Into the outer air upon the sound, — Celestial butterflies that dip and skim.
Whose very perfume is a lethal wound !
81 And why should mignonette disturb the peace, But that its odor is the tenuous ghost Of something well-beloved, whose decease, Thus now and then recalled, rebukes the boast ?
Ah, can it be that when man drinks red wine Or satisfies his lust at direful cost, 'T is not so much to taste the joys of swine.
