What reading level is Poems book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:


A well-known voice was heard to say ; And William sprang on wings of gladness, To kiss the starting tear away !
litis little Poem is an alteration from Mary, a Ballad, which is set to music, and of which I know not the Author. A Lady remarked to me that the cheerful cast of the second stanza, the burthen of the song, ap- peared incongruous with the mournfulness of the con- cluding one. I was therefore induced to change the tale, and compose the final stanzas entirely anew. The three first, with
... the exception of some slight variations, remain the same as in the original ballad.

Non ego te meis Chartis inornam sileri pat. Ar. ^^^^ Shall Sentiment's ecstatic tear Bedew the page to Feeling dear, While in the breast refin'd emotions throng : Nor yet one hand the wreath assign At Sensibility's pure shrine To Iler who sweetly tunes th' impassion'd song ?
Let others vaunt the Syren praise To melt in heav'niy-warblod lays, And sounds of fleeting harmony impart ; 51 *But not to thee alone are giv'n The melodies that breathe of Heav'o, And thrill with vocal tenderness the heart.
