To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
FROM YEAR TO YEAR. 145 Ah, maiden woman ! I believe even now That hour is shading your perfect brow, The matchless curve of your lip ; And Medellin roses make you turn white : Their odor is strong, and out of their sight Your troubled eyes love to slip.
Yes, this is the sofa, and that is the chair.
And the English ivy is twining there, "Where the books and the marbles lie ; And the painted Madonna hangs in her frame, And seems unchanged, but she is not the same — Any more than are you and I.
TH...E GRANDMOTHER'S PRAYER.
'"T^HEY laid the young child on the grandmother's knee,- "■- A beautiful boy, immortality's heir ; His brow a pure page from life's handwriting free, His heart yet untroubled by sorrow or care.
The grandmother bent o'er the fair little form, And smiled a sweet welcome, caressing and warm ; Then, laying her hand on the innocert head, " Oh, bless it and save it ! " she tenderly said.
The tocsin of battle was heard far and wide ; The young soldier knelt at his grandmother's knee, And, lifting his brow to her fond kiss of pride, Said, " Grandmother, hast thou no blessing for me?" She bent her kind face, now well stricken in years.
