What reading level is Gleanings book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I only know That in the heaven overhead A god — my God — is dead.
Gleanings 1 7 IN EXCELSIS Oh, vSome may call these bitter 3^ears, Their thoughts being soured, perhaps, by tears, But I — I never hoped to know The world aglow and shining so.
For from ten million blazing hearts The purging flame of sorrow darts And round the world a splendor sends, While every doorway lintel's cleansed With glorious sacrifice.
Our feet, which wandered for a space With wayward dance and careless pace Down aimless... paths, no longer stray, But walk the ancient holy way.
O ye, who go with downcast eyes!
Look up ! Behold the brilliant skies !
Behold the radiant road ye tread!
Behold the shining goal ahead !
Rejoice that ye this way have found !
Be proud because ye touch this ground 1 For, turn ! The martyr beaten track — See ! It stretches shining back — Straight back to Calvary!
PART TWO POEMS PHILOSOPHICAL Your flesh may not express the luonder that ye are; Your mind may not think it; the eternal fabric Of your soul will live beyond the youngest star.
