What reading level is Our Martyr President Abraham Lincoln : Lincoln Memorial Addresses book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
And now our beloved President is added, as an illustration of the vanishing nature of all human greatness. He, too, has died by the hand of violence.
Death sltteth in the Capitol! His sable wing Flung its black shadow o'er a country's hope, And lo! a nation bendeth down in tears.
Never was grief so heartfelt and universal. It is said that death loves a shining mark, and often against 172 LINCOLN MEMORIAL ADDRESSES such are his swiftest arrows hurled. All that we love, value, venerate, and press... to our hearts, must bow to the inevitable decree, "Dust thou art, and unto dust thou must return. " But when the end comes by vio- lence, how doubly inconsolable is the grief! But still this tragedy has its voice, and will answer its provi- dential end, A thrill of horror through the nation sweeps, And tears of anguish from the eyelids fall; All party ties and lines forgotten are, And thus in grief, if not in patriotic joy.
The nation is as one.
'Twere well to weep such tears.
They purge the heart, and to the soul give strength To do great deeds, when deeds are needed most; Who loves his country, therefore, shame not now O'er her great woe, with me to weep.
