What reading level is Poetical Recreation book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
God who sent such dark decree Shall hidden goodness prove, And vindicate His name of holy love, As in their wildest flow The billows bear the bark all fiercely driven, So in that hour of woe The godlike sire, held by the hand of Heaven, O'er sorrow's seething flood Uprises ready for the work of blood !
'Twas anguish deep and dire, To hear the youth's unconscious surprise, "Behold the wood and fire! But where the fitting lamb for sacrifice ! " What horror to reply, That for that offering, even h...imself must die !
THE TRIUMPH OF FAITH. 107 So strangely undismay'd, The willing victim taught his awful part, On the grim altar laid, Each quivering limb, while breaks the father's heart, With cord and thong he plies, And draws the bandage o'er his closing eyes.
Then as he prostrate lay Though bold to do, yet tender, soft to feel, He kissed and turned away As shuddering still to touch that blade of steel.
'Tis done ! with choking breath, His hand hath grasp' d the scimitar of death !
" Strong in the Lord" the aim Had been too sure against that trembling breast, 108 SACRED NARRATIVE.
