What reading level is Poems book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
'Tis not that in return the smitten smite, Nor that outflowing injury is tidal ; But evermore for him who sees the right, The wrong is suicidal.
XLIII.
THE RAIN FALLS EQUALLY.
The rain falls on the unjust and the just, And worldly fortune comes alike to both. What heart is here for Justice ? Let i: trust All to the inward growth. II 1 62 MUSINGS.
Justice rewards itself ; and if its deeds Seem only to bring poverty and grief, These also are the rain of Heaven, that feeds The plant to higher leaf....
If plants, themselves corrupt, get plenteous rain, 'Tis not to bless them, but to make them worse And who has seen Injustice truly gain ? Its seeming gain a curse.
'Tis not in nature that the prize of wrong Can bless the gainer. They that foully win. Destroy the good of winning, yet prolong The multiplying sin.
For spirit has its chemistry. The gain That comes of wrong transmutes itself to loss : And, dreaming it has struck a golden vein. Wakens to find it dross.
So, if the rain does fall alike on all, It does not work in all a like result.
