What reading level is Poetical Essays book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
What sickness and what sadness, On every side appear ; Is there no bahn in Gilead ?
And no Physician there?
Why then the oft-recurring sigh, That ceases only when we die.
How did this malady begin, This blighting, withering influence — sin, That has affected every part, And so corrupted mind and heart.
A world of wondrous beauty marred.
And all life's harmonies so jarred.
The poisoned germ that gendered death, Lurked in the subtle Tempter's breath; That source of treachery and guile.
And everyt...hing that's base and vile.
Which struck and turned aside the will, And the first bias gave towards ill.
Digitized by Google 22 SIN.
The weak point found, sin entered in, And now for empire fights within ; Greedy of prey, it roams about, Ah ! who can drive this tyrant out ?
Who sees not, journeying day by day, What wreck and ruin ^ark its sway.
Yet in disguise it can appear.
So fair in' form we venture near, In robes that look so dazzling bright, It seems an " Angel of the Light." Enchanted, something says ** Beware !
