What reading level is Selected Poems book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
And bid us hold our words within your reach;As well as this, as try to chain man's speech. So others learned before ye lived, O fools!
=Magdalene Passes= What one is this, that bears the band of shame within her breast, And wanders through the mocking land, denied a place of rest?What one is this, your hue and cry pursue with withering hate, Until her best hope is to die, nor meet a harder fate?
This, this is she who hides her head in shame to gloom the sun;Who waits, as in their graves the dea...d, until the day is done;Whose tasks make pitiful the dark, and dreadful all the night, And leave her spirit striken stark and crushed at morning light.
Beneath the shadows of silk and lace her form is spare and shrunk, And through the rogue upon her face see how her cheeks have sunk, Her lightsome laugh hides not her thought; her brow is scarred with care. And her flashing rings with jewels wrought, but gild and grace despair.
Has she no tears to weep for grief, no voice to cry with woe, No memories panged beyond belief for joys of long ago, Has she no tortured dreams to smart, no anguish for her brow, Has she no broken bleeding heart, that you must curse her now?
