What reading level is As the Wind Blows book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
34 A DARTMOOR STREAM When Shakespeare wrote, you sang the song I hear, And when Eliza reigned, your lint-white locks Flashed where they flash to-day, among the rocks, And showered their tresses twined into the brown pool clear.
You danced and flung your foam upon the fern.
And sang along your green and granite ways Even as now, in far-ofl" Golden days, When toiled the tinner men beside your heathery urn.
Their ruins shrink beside you ; foxglove springs Above the roofless hut and smelting place;... No more their shadows fall upon your face, Or mediaeval chime of pick and hammer rings.
But they were children in your lap beside The early men of stone, whose lodges stand, Like mushroom circles grey upon the land Above the cotton-grass that marks your cradle wide.
The bear has lapped your crystal on his rounds ; The stricken elk beside you dropped at last — A flint home in his shoulder, deep and fast — To smear your emerald moss from red of deathly wounds.
35 36 A DARTMOOR STREAM And now, where once the wolf pack hunting went, With ululation through the snowy nights, Leap motor cars upon the highway heights, And by their hooting horns the silent air is rent.
