To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
At early milking, tuneful was thy lay, And sweet thy homeward song at close of day;But sweeter far, and ev'ry youth's desire, Thy cheerful converse by the ev'ning fire. Alas! no more thou'lt foot the grassy sward!No song of thine shall ever more be heard!Yet now they trip it lightly on the green, As blythe and gay as thou hadst never been:The careless younker whittles lightsome by, And other maidens catch his roving eye:Around the ev'ning fire, with little care, The neighbours sit, and scarcely... miss thee there;And when the night advancing darkens round, They to their rest retire, and slumber sound. But Basil cannot rest; his days are sad, And long his nights upon the weary bed. Yet still in broken dreams thy form appears, And still my bosom proves a lover's fears. I guide thy footsteps thro' the tangled wood;I catch thee sinking in the boist'rous flood;I shield thy bosom from the threaten'd stroke;I clasp thee falling from the headlong rock;But ere we reach the dark and dreadful deep, High heaves my troubled breast, I wake, and weep.
