What reading level is Stray Verses book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In my dream — a strong man toiling upward, smitten, scourged with unmerited pain ; WLzm&. 39 His spirit not soured by the anguish, the message of suffering tf^vain ; He can hear the still voice of his God, and he tries the high sum- mit to gain.
In my dreaming I see where a woman, so young and so tender, forlorn, Is wearily breasting the way leading up from the night to the morn, Betrayed by her trust in her lover — left alone to the world and its scorn.
Yet her eye glows with utter for- givene...ss, like the gleam of a beautiful star ; No thoughts but are prayers for her lover, that God will forgive him and spare ; Not a thought of his sin — only hers, her forgiveness alone and her prayer !
40 &trap And the lover, too, far down the valley, remorseful in anguish and dread — " O God ! I have sinned ; she has suffered ; let the punishment lie on my head ; Her suffering soul is not guilty ; be mine all the anguish instead. " Did I dream that I saw his forgive- ness thro' the prayers of his far- away love ?
