What reading level is Pleasures of Home And Other Poems book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
55 From Dover's Strait to Solway's Forth Roared Heaven's aerial guns, From Plymouth's Sound to farthest North The torrents poured in tuns. Oaks which had centuries bravely stood, Their time had come at last, Loosed in the tempest's fearful roar, Seared by the lightning's blast.
If on the land the Storm Spirit raged With a fierce, convulsive motion, Terrific was the mighty force With which he stirred the ocean. You that dwell 'midst flocks and herds, That dwell in the earth's content, Ah, little... ye know the mighty power With which the wild waves rent. Old Neptune spoke in every surge That lashed Old England's shore ; The lightning leaped from cliff to cliff To join the dreadful roar. Two hundred sail cleft ocean's wave, * Thus English annals tell, The waves closed o'er those hearts so brave And tolled their funeral knell.
Nature again serenely smiled, The skies were clad with tints of blue ; With gentle glance the sun shone down, With beams so kindly true. 'Tis thus with Nature, thus with Man : The earthquake's shock, quick 'tis o'er ; Vehement passions soon react, And smiles succeed the tempest's roar.
