What reading level is The Dread Voyage: Poems book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Have been alone in some dread, shadowy court.
Where I was judge and guilty prisoner too.
Words, words are empty, — were life built on words, How rich the poor would grow, the weak be strong.
The hateful loving, and the scornful weak.
The king would be a peasant, and the poor A king in his own right ; the murderer, red From his foul guilt, would pass to God's own breast, And all damned things, long damned of earth's consent.
And some dread law, much older far than we, Would blossom righteous und...er heaven's face.
Ofttimes I think you churchmen do not feel; You wear a mask and mumble petty hopes, And show a righteous patronage of scorn Toward all poor creatures who have shown life's sting; And all the while, you of you who are men.
And not mere walking, feeding, lusting swine, Digitized byGoogk 64 UNABSOLVED.
Mere mocks of human that do play a part, Are but behind the mask a living death, A muffled night that murmurs of the light, A dread despair where lips have muttered hope.
Still fared we north across that frozen waste Of icy horror ringed with awful night.
