What reading level is Poems book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Grave women level-coifed, whose eyeballs gaze Into the void from long-forgotten days, Relax ; crowned faces mild of bearded kings ; And piteous, nameless, misbegotten things (Jests of the chisel, made to flout mankind) Under the corbel of the arch consigned, Lean to the recreative airs that make The semblance live and frozen stones awake. The gray dust stirr'd in yon Crusader's tomb Recalls a soul to haunt her ruined room ; 162 A Cathedral Voluntary The mailed feet propped against the marble ho...und Tingle with penetrating spells of sound, And in the stony palms and ears of stone He feels again the holy madness blown Challenge of dazzling cities mountain-walled, Leaguer and march and melley and stratagem, And hears the European trump that called The knights to escalade Jerusalem.

Think you, Magician, 'tis a little gift With modulated fingertips to uplift The lids of sense, and damp the murky fires Which reek to blot the heaven of pure desires ?
Can common air whereby we live and are, Brayed in a torment of mechanic mazes, Prove angel's diction, tongues alert with phrases Stol'n from beyond the furthest star ?
