What reading level is The Complete Poetical Works book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
WHAT is it you ask me, darling 1 All my stories, child, you know ; I have no strange dreams to tell you, Pictures I have none to show. Tell you glorious scenes of travel ? Nay, my child, that cannot be, I have seen no foreign countries, Marvels none on land or sea. Yet strange sights in truth I witness, And I gaze until I tire ; Wondrous pictures, changing ever, As I look into the fire. There, last night, I saw a cavern, Black as pitch ; within it lay, Coiled in many folds, a dragon, Glaring as... if turned at bay. And a knight in dismal armor On a winged eagle came, To do battle with this dragon : And his crest was all of flame. As I gazed the dragon faded, And, instead, sat Pluto crowned By a lake of burning fire ; Spirits dark were crouching round. That was gone, and lo! before me, A cathedral vast and grim ; I could almost hear the organ Peal along the arches dim. As I watched the wreathed pil- lars, Groves of stately palms arose, And a group of swarthy Indians Stealing on some sleeping foes.
