What reading level is Light; a Narrative Poem book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
To do no thing, or night or day, Though tempted by a diadem.
They would not others do to them !
XVIII And wee, brown wives, on high, wild steeps Of terraced rice or bamboo patch Where toil, hard toil incessant, keeps Sweet virtue, sweet sleep, and a thatch.
They hear and hold, with closer fold.
Their bare, brown babes against the cold.
They croon and croon, with soothing care.
To babes meshed in their mighty hair.
And k)ving, crooning, breathe a prayer.
96 LIGHT XIX The great notes pass, pass o...n and on.
As light sweeps up the doors of dawn, And now the strong notes are no more, But feebler tones wail out and cry.
As sad things that have lost their way At night and dare not bide the day But turn back to the shrine to die.
And steal in softly through the door And gently fade along the floor.
XX The barefoot priest slow fades from sight.
Faint and more faint the last notes fall; You hear them now, then not at all.
And now the last note of the night Wails out, as when a lover cries At night, and at the aftar dies.
