What reading level is Lyrics & Legends of Christmas-Tide book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Soon will these murmuring lips with ardor sing.
And soon these lifted faces, wan or brown.
Glow into worship that is rapturing.
Back will be thrown the consecrated door, And then these feet, from many a distant shore, Be privileged to press the hallowed floor.
Why have they come, — the hardy mountaineer From Lebanon's cedars and their checkered shade ?
The merchant and the snowy-mantled maid Who hold great Nilus dear.?
Why have they come, — the men with restless eyes And pallid cheeks that tell... of norland skies ?
Why have they come, — the Latin and the Greek ?
Do pilgrims thus this sanctuary seek Because 'twas here For year on fiery year The red earth drank The deluged blood of Paynim and of Frank ?
47 Or do they surge to see The antique symmetry Of springing arch and carven pillar fine, In this old holy house of Constantine?
Ah, no ! ah, no ! To them the memory Of war is not, and monarchs play no part In any thought that stirs an eager heart.
They have no eyes to see A single graceful groining.
