What reading level is Miscellaneous Poems book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
why should some so soon be withering, Deprived of joy a solitary ray ?
All must decay : a wintry hour must come, We know not when ; but its advance is sure.
Life's varied course unruffled is to some ; Wliile some, how much of suffering endure !
One may behold, on Hope's seducing wing, A summer, autumn, and a green old age ; But oft, how soon does winter follow spring, And close the story of our pilgrimage !
E'en at the most a few short years — a span !
Cling as we may to human aid, we must Obey... the sentence pass'd on fallen man, And yield our bodies to their native dust.
But firm in faith, the humbled creature dies, Trusting a purer fadeless spring to share.
Far, far above the azure plains, where sighs Are never heard upon the tranquil air.
1842.
m TO A BIRD SINGING ON SOPHY'S GRAVE.
Sing on, sweet bird, your melody : Here, in the churchyard, far and free From busy life's unfeeling throng. There's nothing- to disturb your song.
No little crumb have I for thee, For thine unsullied sympathy ; There's nothing from this barren land, That I can give with grateful hand.
