What reading level is Lyrical Vignettes book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
[35] THE TEACHER.
The sculptor moulds his piece of plastic day Into the beauteous fonn his soul has caught In vision bright^ that came, perchance, unsought.
And then upon the marble, day by day, His chisel falls with neither haste nor stay, Until at last, by skilful touches wrought, The statue bodies forth his raptured thought.
And joy and fame his patient toil repay.
But higher still the teacher^s matchless art : For he, beyond the sculptor^s crumbling goal, Devotes his talent to the living^ou...l.
And shapes in noble form the mind and heart.
With loving care, upon a godlike plan.
He moulds the image of a perfect man.
[36] LEAVING HOME.
From midnight darkness rushed the train.
The engine panting stood ; A few quick words of tender strain.
And then, in tearful mood, I passed into the dim-lit car.
That bore me from my home a£ur.
And soon, with sleepless eyes, I lay Upon my pent-up bed.
And softly pushed the shade away That hid the skies overhead ; And long, while onward roared the cars.
With homesick heart I watched the stars.
