To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
TRUST.
SOMETIMES when hopes have vanished, one and all, Soft lights drop round about me in their stead, As if there had been cast across Heaven's wall Handfuls of roses down upon my bed ; Then through my darkness pleasures come in crowds, Shining like larks' wings in the sombre clouds, And I am fed with sweetness, as of dew Strained through the leaves of pansies at day dawn ; But not the flowery lights that over- strew The bed my weary body rests upon, Is it that maketh all my house so bright, ...And feedeth all my soul with such de- light.
Nay, ne'er could heavenly, veritable flowers Make the rude time to run so smoothly . By, And tie with amity the alien hours, As might some maiden, with her rib- bon, tie A bunch of homely posies into one, Making all fair, when none were . Fair alone.
But lying disenchanted of my fear, 'Neath the gold borders of my " cover- lid " So overstrown, I feel my flesh so near Things lovely, that, my body being hid Out of the sunshine, shall not harm en- dure, But mix with daisies, and grow fair and pure.
