What reading level is Poems book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
May he that assists thee be childless and poor, With famine behind him, and death at his door : May his nights be all sleepless, his days spent alone, And ne'er may he list to a voice but his own !
Or, if he shall sleep, in his dreams may he view The ghost of our Inca, the fiends of Peru : May the flames of destruction that here he has spread Be tenfold return'd on his murderous head !
A. T.
A SISTER, SWEET ENDEARING NAME !' ' ' Why should wc mourn for the blest ?
Byron.
A SISTER, sweet endeari...ng name !
Beneath this tomb-stone sleeps ; A brother (who such tears could blame ?) In pensive anguish weeps.
I saw her when in health she wore A soft and matchless grace.
And sportive pleasures wanton'd o'er The dimples of her face.
I saw her when the icy wind Of sickness froze her bloom ; I saw her (bitterest stroke !) consign'd To that cold cell — the tomb !
154 POEMS BY TWO BROTHERS Oh ! when I heard the crumbHng mould Upon her coffin fall, And thought within she lay so cold, And knew that worms would crawl O'er her sweet cheek's once lovely dye, I shudder'd as I turn'd From the sad spot, and in mine eye The full warm tear-drop burn'd.
