What reading level is Occasional Poems book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It was not long after the opening of the house of worship built for him that he died.
Amidst these glorious works of Thine, The solemn minarets of the pine, And awful Shasta's icy shrine, -- Where swell Thy hymns from wave and gale, And organ-thunders never fail, Behind the cataract's silver veil, Our puny walls to Thee we raise, Our poor reed-music sounds Thy praise:Forgive, O Lord, our childish ways!
For, kneeling on these altar-stairs, We urge Thee not with selfish prayers, Nor murmur at our... daily cares.
Before Thee, in an evil day, Our country's bleeding heart we lay, And dare not ask Thy hand to stay; But, through the war-cloud, pray to TheeFor union, but a union free, With peace that comes of purity!
That Thou wilt bare Thy arm to, saveAnd, smiting through this Red Sea wave, Make broad a pathway for the slave!
For us, confessing all our need, We trust nor rite nor word nor deed, Nor yet the broken staff of creed.
Assured alone that Thou art goodTo each, as to the multitude, Eternal Love and Fatherhood, -- Weak, sinful, blind, to Thee we kneel, Stretch dumbly forth our hands, and feelOur weakness is our strong appeal.
