What reading level is Insurrection, And Other Poems book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Then 1 felt Death's coldness on hand and cheek.
And came a blackness — I knew no more.
I opened my eyes after many days.
When burning fever, had spent its way.
Opened my eyes to a woman's face, Whose wondrous beauty filled all the place.
A little brown maiden with dusky eyes, Who held in the touch of her little hand, A power I never could understand.
She started the blood in my veins to life, And set me to loving her. When she turned, And looked at me soft-eyed — then I learned.
That the hope o...f earth, and the far off skies.
Is centered sometimes in a woman's eyes.
She was a Cuban, and lived alone.
In a hut, that stood on the edge of the town, Father and mother and brothers had died.
They called her a witch for her strength and pride, A strength and pride — they could not break down.
She stabbed a man once who had come too near.
She struck him down — the dog that he was.
She put her foot on the coward's neck.
And dared them to touch her. Half in fear, Half in jesting they shrunk away, All of them cowards with nothing to say.
