What reading level is A book of Verses book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Well, that's the new world ! but the old world's story No vain contempt can blot ; The lowly grandeur, and the fameless glory That consecrate the spot. Prayers, vigils, fasts, they were no idle tale : How shall we judge them as of none avail?
Did all those years of passionate, fierce devotion Draw them no nearer heaven ? Was it for nought that every dear emotion They shunned as earthly leaven ?' We, proud to trace our kinship with the beas^, Run to and fro, and knowledge is increased.
44 AT THE... ABBEY OF TALLOIRES.
Knowledge ? Of what ? Of all the meaner uses, The baser aims of life ; Of shameful mysteries, of crime's excuses, And arts of greed and strife. Knowledge that clings to every transient breath ; That knows no life but what is mask of death.
And seers and singers, of whatever faction, Stirred by despair or hope, Join in the alarm, and trumpet us to action, With this or that to cope ; Till every youngster girds the unproven sword, Nor doubts himself the champion of the Lord.
Trust me, nay, trust the wisest of the ages, Who chose the better part ; And hold His hand while the world's whirlwind rages, Creep to Him heart to heart : Hidden in the clift behold His presence come ; Stand by, and watch His workings : and be dumb.
