What reading level is Echoes of the Past: Poems book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Then let us kneel, Lulu, together and pray That He'll comfort your mother when you're called away." Spring'shues passed away from the verdure-crowned bowers, And the spirit-like child seemed to fade with the flowers.
As the snow-drop bows e'en to the zephyr's soft breath, So passed she on, on to the shadow of Death ; Till at length the last sigh of her pure heart was given.
And she dwelt with the angels who loved her in Heaven.
THE SHADOW.
§H! the breadth and the lensrth of the shadow.
The wear...isome shadow of Death ; How it blots out our joy and sunshine, How it burdens our grief-laden breath !
How it clings like a pall to our rising, How it broods o'er our moments of rest, How it freezes the tears that would soften The stony despair in our breast.
Who shall measure its terrible shadow, As through the dim vista of years, Weary years that are lying before us.
Stretching on, ever on, it appears, Ever on to the limitless ocean That washes Time's echoless shore.
Ever on until in the Eternal The finite is lost evermore.
