What reading level is Poems book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The track of the floating moonlight Half beckoning lures me on.
As though it led to the harbor Where the home-bound souls have gone, And its ghostly glimmer and shimmer As a dead man's face is wan.
I lie on the sad sea's bosom Or with swift stroke cleaving pass, Where foam-crests tipped by the star-shine Stand high in a fluffy mass, And the billows down under sunder Over depths as green as glass.
With stars in the skies to lend me Far glints from a world divine, I toss as a careless swimmer And... the deep-sea joys are mine.
Forgetting to borrow sorrow Throat-deep in the buoyant brine.
169 The boom of the surf behind me And the crag's sharp lines above, Fade out and in God's wide heaven Peace broods as a nesting dove, And the waters fold me and hold me Like the arms of her I love.
170 OFF GEORGES BANKS.
Off Georges Banks the sun went down In crimson splendor gleaming, As past the bar a vessel sailed With graceful pennant streaming ; And in her wake across the blue A stormy petrel flew.
Then from their ambush crept the winds To wake each sleeping billow ; And in their grasp the strong masts shook Like slender twigs of willow, And struck by whips of foaming spray The good ship bore away.
