What reading level is Collected Poems book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Slow tramped the guard, and hollowly the armour's clank was heard, For all was still upon the hill, and not a vine-leaf stirred ; The neighbouring city silent heaved, in hushed and heavy dream, And sleep outspread with wings of lead hung o'er Jerusalem.
The listless soldier's heart was back to his far distant home, Where red the Tiber rolled along by old familiar Rome ; A spell was cast across the past, and shapes of things gone by Came back distinct upon his soul, and passed portentously.
Then... thoughts arose of where he was, the story of the land, The mystic Spirit here adored, the marvels of his hand, The rumour of divinity beneath that tombstone there, And closer to his band he drew, and his lips moved in prayer .
60 STANZAS FOE EASTEE-DAT.
Whispered the palm-trees, stirred the grass, on Kedron's banks below ; [so ?
The rushes shivered ; was't a breeze that shook the mountain It gathers — strengthens; from above a burst of thunder breaks, And horribly beneath their feet the earth's foundation quakes !
