What reading level is Solitary Hours Poems book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
That star is hope aloft the night. , How very far away it shines! How faintly scintillates its light ! No wonder that the sad heart pines.
THE BATTLEFIELDS.
Awhile agone the frightful battle thundered, The cannon' belched, the rifles hissed their lead, The bombs exploded, and the bayonets dripped With human blood and in the sunlight gleamed. Now flowers grow where once the wounded bled, A chestnut tree affords the visitor shade. In an adjacent meadow cattle graze, And o'er the heroes' graves lo...ng grasses grow. Some birds are singing in an elder-bush, A rill is rippling like a bosomed tune, And on the distant peaks the white snows rest To let the dead know that the world's still cold.
But now 'tis night. Aloft the pale-faced moon Her vigil keeps of the deserted earth; The pale moon like a sentinel in the sky Is posted o'er these devastated fields. Here silence is not silence something more, Akin to the awed stillness of the tomb, And Contrast like a sinister shadow slumbers.
The winds that blew all day have gone to sleep, The birds have ceased to sing.
