What reading level is Ballads of Life book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
And I am his darling Grace.
A FALLEN ONE'S LAMENT.
Where is the promise of my years.
Once written on my brow?
Ere errors, agonies and fears Brought with , them all that speaks in tears.
Ere I had sunk beneath my peers?
Where sleeps that promise now?
Naught lingers to redeem tiliose hours.
Still, still to memory sweet!
The flowers that bloomed in sunny bowers Are withered all, and evil towers Supreme above her sister powers Of sorrow and deceit.
BALLADS OF LIFE.
1867.
I look along the columned y...ears And see life's riven fane, Just where it fell, amid the jeers Of scornful lips, whose mocking sneers Fore\'er hiss within my ears, To break the sleep of pain.
I can but own m^- life is vain, A desert void of peace; I missed the goal I sought to gain, I missed the measure of the strain That lulls Fame's fever in the brain.
And bids Earth's tumult cease.
Myself! alas for theme so~poor, A theme but rich in fear; I stand a wreck on Error's shore, A speftre not within the door, A houseless shadow evermore, An exile lingering here!
