What reading level is Poems book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
— Beside a galley's mast I leaned, and wooed the freshness of the blast ; And watch' d the sunbeams, with the waves at play, Braid their bright dance o'er Benin's purple bay ; The shore grew dim behind, and far a-lee Heaved the broad bosom of the boundless sea ; Aloft the careless sailor's merry song Cheered his brave vessel as she skimmed along : But mine was silent joy, a dreamy feeling Of peace, along the vacant spirit stealing. A shock aroused me : on mine ear was thrown, Breathed from bene...ath, a low and stifled moan. ' Sure 'twas delusion ! 'twas the wind that gave A deeper murmur ! 'twas the booming wave !' But hark, once more ! — alas, too sadly plain It tells its source, — the cry of human pain! I 9 sought the hatchway : all below was night, And long I tasked in vain mine aching sight : Up rose a noisome vapour, like the breath That issues from the charnel jaws of Death. At length the dimness cleared, and on my view Slowly the den's infernal secrets grew ; Condensed into one loathsome mass was rolled The living cargo of that dungeon-hold !
