What reading level is Poems book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
* The Wakarusa, Kansas.
92 "WE WIIvL SUBDUE YOU" Reply to a Southern threat ill 1856.
GO tell it to the slaves that quake Amid your canefields and your swamps; Go hiss it to the hearts you break Beneath your scornful midnight lamps; With curses out from cruel lips, With tortures and with threats to kill, And damned stripes from streaming whips Subdue your chattels to your will.
But never speak these words to us Who claim free breath on Freedom's soil, Lest on your heads the slanderous Black lie... of infamy recoil.
We owe no fealty to you Whose gold is slippery with the gore Your cleaving knives and scourges drew From the gashed souls you lord it o'er.
There breathes no driver in your clime, Tho belted to the ribs with steel.
And choked with slavery's foul slime.
Of whom we dare not think and feel, 93 " We Will Subdue You" And speak, too, as the truth shall list, In tones that scorch and words that warn, Till pelted, pilloried and hissed.
He slinketh from the People's scorn.
Subdue ye those who spring from men That Mayflower brought o'er the seas, Who heard God talking with them, when, Beneath their bent and praying knees, The wintry rocks of Plymouth thrilled, And startled like a living soul At such deep cries of faith, that stilled The lasht waves into calm control ?
