What reading level is A Shropshire Lad book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
XXII The street sounds to the soldiers' tread, And out we troop to see:A single redcoat turns his head, He turns and looks at me.
My man, from sky to sky's so far, We never crossed before;Such leagues apart the world's ends are, We're like to meet no more; What thoughts at heart have you and I We cannot stop to tell;But dead or living, drunk or dry, Soldier, I wish you well.
XXIII The lads in their hundreds to Ludlow come in for the fair, There's men from the barn and the forge and the mill and... the fold, The lads for the girls and the lads for the liquor are there, And there with the rest are the lads that will never be old.
There's chaps from the town and the field and the till and the cart, And many to count are the stalwart, and many the brave, And many the handsome of face and the handsome of heart, And few that will carry their looks or their truth to the grave.
I wish one could know them, I wish there were tokens to tell The fortunate fellows that now you can never discern;And then one could talk with them friendly and wish them farewell And watch them depart on the way that they will not return.
