To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
ADRIFT.
A CHILD with daring hand ^^ Stooped down and pushed her tiny boat From the shelving shore ; she watched it float Seaward, far out from land.
At eve, when day was done, She wept because the boat no more Came back, stranded on some far shore Around the setting sun.
Sweet child ! how like us all. We push our boats and wait in vain. No sail is on the restless main, And the far shadows fall.
ASPIRATION.
When for earth too fancy-loose And too low for heaven.
MRS. BROWNING.
T ARK from English ...meadows springing, Level bars of sunrise climbing, At the azure gateway ringing All thy liquid soul in rhyming Music for the nest below; Impulse of thy flight supernal Checked by love that downward calleth, Love that from the blue eternal To the nest of birdlings falleth In a wavering flight and slow.
Ever thus, my soul, thy song, Though it break against the sky, Feels the earthward drawing strong, And relapses to a sigh. 72 ASPIRATION. 73 And the wing that cleft the air With an impulse brave and true, Heaven yielding, bendeth where Gleams the world in transient dew.
