What reading level is The Siege of Zaragoza And Other Poems book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
What tongue can tell the wrongs, the woes Of that disast 'rous hour, When Murder waved his crimson sword on high, And held his dreadful revelry. Nor woman's tear — nor childhood's rosy charm Had power to stayth' exterminating arm.
O History's foulest page !
O records of a guilty age!
Records that tell the coward deed That bade the helpless and the lovely bleed — The days of Chivalry arejled!
A)id Europe's glory is no more — A cloud of darkness o'er the earth is spread, And Mercy's Angel seeks s...ome happier shore.
[ 103 ] THE DEATH OF THE YOUTHFUL.
. Death came to the couch of the Youthful, And said — " Thou must go with me !" " I am ready — " the victim replied, " I am ready to go with thee !" Yet life was but just in its morning, The race of existence new, To the Maiden, who, thus so calmly, Could bid the bright earth adieu.
Perhaps, though, the sharp tooth of misery Had prey'd on her virgin breast ? And she long'd, from the arms of sorrow, To fly to the cold grave's rest ?
