What reading level is Airs of Palestine And Other Poems book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" May there be many such ! But, O my grave, When my cold dust is sleeping here, in thee, The question that shall most concern the spirit That shall have left that dust, and gone to give Its dread account in, at the bar of God, Will not be, " What success hath crowned thy labors ? " But, " With what faithfulness were they performed ? " 68 MISCELLANEOUS.
Here, as I muse beside my last, low bed, I think upon my answer.
" Lord, thou knowest ! Man never knew me as thou knowest me. I never could reve...al myself to man. For neither had I, while I lived, the power, To those who were the nearest to my heart To lay that heart all open, as it was, And as thou, Lord, hast seen it. Nor could they, Had every inmost feeling of my soul By seraphs lips been uttered, e er have had The ear to hear it, or the soul to feel. The world has seen the surface only of me : Not that I ve striven to hide myself from men : No, I have rather labored to be known : But, when I would have spoken of my faith, My communings with thee, my heaven-ward hope, My love for thee and all that thou hast made, The perfect peace in which I looked on all Thy works of glorious beauty, then it seemed That thou alone couldst understand me, Lord, And so my lips were sealed; or the world s phrase, The courteous question or the frank reply, Alone escaped them.
