What reading level is Mother And Other Poems book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The mother, while she's smiling on her sweet, darling babe, Is touched by his cold hand, and lo ! in death is laid ; He slays the loving father by whom the bread is won, And shows no love or mercy to the poor widow's son. Sings an exultant paean amid the cannon's roar, And stalks among the dying when the dread battle's o'er. War is to him sweet music, he joys to see the day When host meets host in battle, whole hecatombs to slay : 162 DEATH.
Angels veil their faces on the unhallowed scene, Dark... Pluto's shade rejoices, the souls of men to glean ; And laughs to see them rushing to his dark, dread abode, Condemn'd to dwell in hades by an avenging God. [I speak not of the patriot — noble, true, and brave — Who, fighting for love of country, find a soldier's grave ; But of hell's foul ambition, which swells a nation's pride To trample on the weaker, and the laws of God deride. Open the scroll of history, and scan its ancient page, Where are the mighty nations? Where Eome, and where Carthage ?
