What reading level is Airs of Palestine a Poem book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Below him, Ocean rolls: deep in a wood, Built on a rock, and frowning o'er the flood, Like the dark Cyclops of Trinacria's isle, Rises an old and venerable pile.
AIRS OF PALESTINE.
Gothic its structure, ' once a cross it bore, And pilgrims throng'd to hail it and adore.
Mitres and crosiers awed the trembling friar, The solemn organ led the chanting quire, When in those vaults the midnight dirge was sung, And o'er the dead, a requiescat rung.
Now, all is still: the midnight anthem hush'd: The cr...oss is crumbled, and the crosier crush'd.
And is all still? No: round those ruin'd altars, With feeble foot as our musician falters, Faint, weary, lost, benighted and alone, He sinks, all trembling, on the threshold stone.
Here, nameless fears the young enthusiast chill: They're superstitious, but religious still.
He hears the sullen murmur of the seas, That tumble round the stormy Orcades, Or, deep beneath him, burst with boundless roar, Their sparkling surges on that savage shore; And thinks a spirit rolls the weltering waves Through rifted rocks, and hollow rumbling caves.
