What reading level is Dust of Stars book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
To heal the soul In a rift of light.
Friendless, alone, Thou bidst me smile, Denying me all, Knowing the while How thou mightst break The bonds that tie, And cast the weight From ecstasy.
Others gave me My birth, my place, To have a heart, Crises to face.
Surely our God Did not decree That I should sing Apart from thee.
Because I tread, With feet unbound 26 By fetters, on The sacred ground Of my dear idol, E'en of thee, Partisan in My symphony, I may not smile That I am here, Merely to know Tha...t thou art near.
I built me castles In the air.
But they have crumbled, Falling there, When in their glory Thou wouldst laugh, Sweeping them far As wind the chaff.
There is a bird In a gilded cage, A travesty On his small stage.
Does he not sing? But, to translate, His notes tell not Of love, but hate: 27 He has our all, All that men give, Only to sing In pain, and live.
Is there not sorrow Beyond retrieve, In giving all, Nought to receive !
Ah, there is beauty In the fire Of his sweet song, The deep desire To be away, Up heavenward, Over the lovers On the sward.
