What reading level is Poems book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Mine were the beacon lights of earth ; To ashes they have turned : Yet, all the while, unwatched above, The holy stars have burned !
Had I looked to their changeless light, I had not gone astray, Nor, in the dreary midnight, stood Beside the ashes gray !
THY KULE.
THY spirit rules within my breast, A Queen upon the throne, And all my silent thoughts obey Thy sovereignty alone.
Beloved, wherefore wilt thou not Eeceive me "as thine own !
It may not be a regal sway.
But never potentate To nobler u...ses could command The government of state, Or wield with more authority A willing subject's fate.
THY RULE. 81 Oh ! can it not suffice thy mind To have such sceptred sway ? Or art thou not content, unless The multitude obey, And to thee, on a gilded throne, A ceaseless homage pay ?
I think it not. Thy angel mind No worldly raiment wears, Nor seeks, in pomp and circumstance, Increase of daily cares. Embroidered only on thy breast, A Christian cross it bears.
Thou wilt not leave the throne whereon So long thy place has been ; But with a kinder rule wilt sway My heart, oh !
