What reading level is Poems book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But this fair Hall, to Truth and Freedom given, Pledged to the Right before all earth and Heaven, A free arena for the strife of mind, To caste, or sect, or color unconfined, Shall thrill with echoes, such as ne'er of old From Roman Hall, or Grecian Temple roll'd; Thoughts shall find utterance, such as never yet The Propylea or the Forum met.
Beneath its roof no gladiator's strife Shall win applauses with the waste of life; No lordly lictor urge the barbarous game — No wanton Lais glory in her ...shame.
But here the tear of sympathy shall flow, As the ear listens to the tale of woe ; Here, in stern j udgment of the oppressor's wrong, Shall strong rebukings thrill on Freedom's tongue — No partial justice hold th' unequal scale — No pride of caste a brother's rights assail — No tyrant's mandates echo from this wall, Holy to Freedom and the Rights of All!
But a fair field, where mind may close with mind, Free as the sunshine and the chainless wind ; Where the high trust is fix'd on Truth alone, And bonds and fetters from the soul are thrown; Where wealth, and rank, and worldly pomp, and might, Yield to the presence of the True and Right.
