What reading level is Verses book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Torment of terror and suspense, Passion of yearning so intense To reach, to save ! And then, despair.
Dull, crushing, colorless despair.
Drowned fathoms deep their sailors lie; O well for them that they may die And rest from toil in heaven's sweet air!
But these, who to their breasts have clung.
Of comfort and of joy bereft, What haggard grief for them is left !
So must the heart of love be wrung \ ON EASTER DAY ON EASTER DAY.
Easter lilies! Can you hear What they whisper, low and clear?
In dew...y fragrance they unfold Their splendor sweet, their snow and gold.
Every beauty-breathing bell News of heaven has to tell.
Listen to their mystic voice, Hear, oh mortal, and rejoice !
" Do you find us very fair ? " So was He, beyond compare.
White and dazzling pure are we, Stainless, flawless ? So was He.
Do you love our odorous breath ?
Think on Him who conquered Death !
Richer than our perfume rise The memories of His sacrifice, Who turned from bliss to lift your woe, And light the path wherein you go.
