What reading level is Verses book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

. . . Now anew he buffets the biting wave. . . .
The porch is pass'd, and the courtyard pass'd.
V. B. 97 G THE BRIAR-ROSE Yet round him Christ ! how the Briars rave, The snaky Briars, The venom'd Briars !
Now he treadeth the first high hall, Where Judge and Poet, Scholar and King, Loll in the web of a subtle thrall, Stifled by wreaths that catch and cling. Ay, catch and cling, for ye soon shall fall, Ye cozening Briars, Ye choking Briars !
What of the inner chamber there ? . . .
O pitiful chamb
...er, place of ruth ! Paven all with maidens fair, Strewn with the bodyguard of Truth, Caught, at her door, in the dreamy snare Of the kissing Briars, The smothering Briars !
98 THE BRIAR-ROSE Ah, Wisdom and fair Innocence, Bound so fast in easeless ease ! Yet, holy heart, and love immense, Linger not here to succour these ; Love Truth before her votaries !
On, thro' the Briars, The desperate Briars !
Oh, falter not, but set her free !
Break, break the Briars that round her twine ! Pierce they thy heart?
