What reading level is Poems book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Judea's King ! all hail ! Of barbarous shouts that rent the very air, Away to Calvary's cross, go nail him there ! Of gall that quenched the death-thirst of his tongue, While on the tree the illustrious Sufferer hung.
It speaks of gloom and • darkness ; earth con- vulsed ; The ghastly deads' drear lodgments open burst, The rending veil, the awed centurion's cry, "Sure now none other than God's Son must die ! " 56 The silent tomb, the sealed sepulchral stone, The pitying tears that wept the Mast...er gone ; And then the resurrection's wondrous joy, Sin slain, death vanquished, man redeemed thereby.
And can I lightly then pronounce that name, The sign by which such great salvation came ? Shall the bright seraphs at its awful sound Adore, and prostrate their eternal crowns ; Shall demons also, when that name they hear, Tremble and bend with the most abject fear ; And still in me no reverence shall it wake, Or careless on my tongue dare I it take ?
No, though the world my faith and views deride, And superstitionist call me beside, Be it my honour lowlier still to bow My knee, my heart, my soul, and every power.
