What reading level is Poems book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
And a diviner music in thy heart ; Simplicity and Goodness walk with thee.
Beneath the wings of watchful Seraphim : And Love is wed to whitest Chastity, And Pity sings its hymn.
Nor is thy virtue passive in its end.
But ever active as the sun and rain : Unselfish, lavish of its golden gain, Not only Want's, but a whole nation's Friend !
This is thy glory, this thy noblest fame ; And when thy glory fades, and fame departs.
This will perpetuate a deathless name Where names are deathless, — deep i...n loving hearts !
63 THE TWO GATES.
There are two starry gates, like Morn and Even, Flung back along the thresholds of a plain.
Where Earth looks out upon the watchful Heaven, And Heaven looks in upon the Earth again.
One lifts its pillars from a sea of flowers.
And pours along the lands a flood of light : The other wraps in clouds its iron towers.
While half the world around is lost in Night.
White-robed and innocent, in linked bands Young children crowd the first, with dreamy eyes, And pluck the lilies there with eager hands.
