What reading level is Old And New World Lyrics book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The low lute-toned south-wind fell ; I caught the desert's parching breath O'er all lay vast, inscrutable, The calm solemnity of death.
A KAFFEYEH.
T X THERE Tigris sees the orange bloom * * 'Twas wrought upon a Bagdad loom ; Then some devout and pious hand To Mecca bore it o'er the sand, That it might catch the healing grace Which breathes about the sacred place, Beholding mosque and minaret Above Mohammed's birthplace set.
Thence was it borne, and dearly sold For discs of dull Egyptian gold.
...In Nile-laved Cairo did it stay Until one fair mid-winter day, When its bright colors chanced to please A Christian, wandering over seas, Who brought it back with him ; and now It feels the snow of Paula's brow, *2 A KAFFEYEH.
Or by cool western winds is blown When round her shapely shoulders thrown.
And unto her by it is lent The glamour of the Orient; Till every time I mark her stir I think of attared rose and myrrh, Or sapphire-cinctured skies that dream O'er dusky Egypt's sacred stream ; And in her eyes I seem to see An East that shines for none but me.
