What reading level is Youth; And Other Poems book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
[46] YOUTH XVI Their little daughter lived two golden months, Scarce longer than the fragile silver moon, Less than the blooms that star the meadow-grass, Less than the time the Spring is in the world.
No one can tell why April goes away ; We simply know that sometimes all too soon The beautiful must perish, and the lamp Be lighted, only instantly to fail.
A breath blows down the darkness, and the spark That lit our little ring of happiness Goes out, and leaves us lonely in the dark.
So Mary th...ought that morning when she sat Beside the tiny coffin of the child Whose hands had clutched at life so eagerly, And then in helplessness gone on to death.
Was this the room, this place of sorrow now, Where only a few months ago she knew The greatest joy a woman ever knows?
Was this the room where, at the Christmas dance, [47] YOUTH The shouts of laughter and the speeding feet Made the walls ring and hushed the Winter winds? Here hope was born and swiftly died again; Once more our poor affairs, like lantern-slides, Moved gaily or moved sadly on the screen, And we were weeping even while we smiled [48] YOUTH XVII He came to her one evening, tired and worn; And Lucy, having lost the child she loved, Drew this great child to her, and stroked his hair Defeated motherhood triumphant now.
