What reading level is Verses book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
'Tis midnight. From the dark-blue sky, The stars, which now look down on earth, Have seen ten thousand centuries fly, And give to countless changes birth ; And when the pyramids shall fall, And, mouldering, mix as dust in air, The dwellers on this altered ball May still behold them glorious there.
1 14 Shine on ! shine on 1 — with you I tread The march of ages, orbs of light !
A last eclipse o'er you may spread ; To me, to me, there comes no night.
Oh ! what concerns it him whose way Lies upwar...d to the immortal dead, That a few hairs are turning gray, Or one year more of life has fled !
Swift years 1 but teach me how to bear, To feel and act with strength and skill, To reason wisely, nobly dare, And speed your courses as you will.
When life's meridian toils are done, How calm, how rich, the twilight glow, The morning twilight of a sun Which shines not here on things below !
But sorrow, sickness, death, the pain To leave or lose wife, children, friends ; What then ? — shall we not meet again, Where parting comes not, sorrow ends ?
