What reading level is Poems book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
[ 123 ] Too late your love is dying Too late you see before you, the love that might have been.
What was to be is finished, what is to be begun.
The seal of the eternal proclaims your story done.
Too late the fault repented, too late the evil seen, Too late beheld the beauty, the love that might have been.
The dews of death That dimpling face immobile, those blind averted eyes.
The poet here has before him the image of the placid river at Grez, memorable not alone for its natural beauty, but la...den also with the glamour of romantic associations; for at Grez he first met and fell in love with his future wife. The first seven preceding lines give the setting; the eighth line accentuates the spirit of days gone by. But in the next eight Stev- enson seems to go astray. He drifts into an almost moralizing poem fraught with a bur- den of regret and not free from commonplace lines. But after that, he sees better use for his material, and swiftly finds his way back to [ 124 ] the purely lyrical field, as revealed in the sec- ond page of his manuscript.
