What reading level is The Flood of Life And Other Poems book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Thus the dawn, dream-dawn, half night.
Part shadowland and part daylight.
When mystery of twilight things Fills the street with soundless wings.
33 Winter Past visions of a star that led Eastern wizards to Christ's bed, Lost perfumes of the Manger where The Virgin her own Saviour bare. And sudden on the potent morn Comes rioting of laughter born In the childhood of our days ; Holly-dreams, and mistletoe, And the stories that we know Are but relics of old times, Bardic revelries and rhymes. Thes...e are things none may forget Till our souls dismiss regret, And the spirits of the snow Bring no dreams of long ago.

In the cosy inglenook Firebright eyes search through the book, The changing folios of flame ; The same familiar winter game Our fathers played in centuries past.
Even as thus, their memories cast Roseate colours on the days When youth walked with its winsome ways Along the hilltops of desire.
This is the picture in the fire, The radiant heart, the soul of flame : And through all time it is the same ; The picture of a younger day — To youth — the childhood flown away : 34 Winter To age — the echo of lost youth And memory of the quest for truth, The skeleton of lost belief, The power for joy, the pride for grief, Ensanguined for one haunted hour Into a resurrected flower With former fragrance lingering deep About the closing vales of sleep.
