What reading level is American Lyrics book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Who told me the name of the garden That lieth remote, apart, I know not, nor whence was the music That sang it into my heart; But just as the loud robin tosses His notes from the elm tops high, As the violets come in the mosses When south winds wake and sigh, So on my lips I found it, This name that is made my cry.
There, under the stars and the dawns Of the virginal valleys, White lilies flood the low lawns, And the rose lights the alleys; But never are heard there the voices [368] That sweete...n on lovers' lips, And the wild bee never sips Sweets of Wild Eden.
But who hath shown me the vision Of the roses and lilies in ranks I would that I knew, that forever To him I might render thanks; For a maiden grows there in her blossom, In the place of her maidenhood, Nor knows how her virgin bosom Is stored with the giving of good, For the truth is hidden from her That of love is understood.
No bird with his mate there hovers, Nor beside her has trilled or sung; No bird in the dewy covers Has built a nest for his young; And over the dark-leaved mountains The voice in the laurel sleeps; And the moon broods on the deeps Shut in Wild Eden.
