What reading level is Poems book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
143 And thus they talked. And Lelan lingered long. While Lelia, loath to let him go so soon, Although she struggled to conceal the gloom That gathered, like a dreary winter cloud, Around her heart, looked sad, and yet she smiled : But 'twas the smile of sorrow, not of joy. As fell disease sends up the flush of health In mockery upon the cheek, it came, - Deep laden from the troubled heart, and played In melancholy beauty on her lip. She almost felt that she could win him back From his high purp...ose. And an easy task It would have been. Their minds were right; their hearts They dare*not trust.
Oh ! blame them not, but say, Would you have done as well ? Have sacrificed So much of ease, of love, of bliss, to serve Disinterestedly your fellow man? The mass of mankind, in this selfish world, Do not act thus. The heart, and not the head, Rules nearly all the acts of men impulse ' Not reason. This is wrong. The mind should rule. The heart's the source of error, not the mind.
144 L E L I A .
The time at length arrived that must decide Which power controlled their pure and generous souls.
