What reading level is Longfellows Country book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Nevertheless the greater part of the school children of the United States remember the nineteenth of April more because of this poem than because of their history lessons. So convincing is it that even grown-up historians repeat its inac- curacies as ho7ia fide history. No less a man than John Fiske was sadly mixed about the famous bea- con lanterns and, in all seriousness, relates that Paul Revere watched for them himself in Charlestown. No one who compares Revere's own circumstantial and unil...luminated account of his ride with Longfel- low's ballad but will be thankful to the poet for giv- ing us flashlights upon him as he rides through the darkness.
"It was twelve by the village clock When he crossed the bridge into Medf ord town. He heard the crowing of the cock, And the barking of the farmer's dog, And felt the damp of the river fog, That rises after the sun goes down.
"It was one by the village clock When he galloped into Lexington. He saw the gilded weather-cock Swim in the moonlight as he passed, And the meeting-house windows, blank and bare, Gaze at him with a spectral glare, As if they already stood aghast At the bloody work they would look upon.
