What reading level is Poems book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Yea, I have knelt to the unpiteous air And knelt to gods I knew not, to remove The viewless hands whose sight I could not bear Out of the wind-blown head of her I love. Ecstasy enters me and cannot speak, Seizes my hands and smites my fainting eyes And sends through all my veins a dim despair Of never apprehending all so fair And I have stood, unnerved and numb and weak, Watching your breathing bosom fall and rise.
Ah no ! This joy is empty, incomplete, And sullied with a sense of too much long...ing, Where thoughts and fancies, sweet and bitter-sweet, And old regrets and new-born hopes come thronging. Man can see beauty for a moment's space And live, having seen her with an unfilmed eye, If all his body and all his soul in one Instant are tuned by passion to unison And I can image in your kissing face The eternal meaning of the earth and sky.
54 Song in Time of Waiting.
T)ECAUSE the days are long for you and me, -*^' I make this song to lighten their slow time, So that the weary waiting fruitful be Or blossomed only by my limping rhyme.
