What reading level is Poems book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The old, free "wind is blowing now, O rise up and be going now *A "cross the sea. I SIT in the high-seat all day, I hear the words the old men say And children laughing at their play Through sun and shower. I know the wind that cannot tire Blows free outside, my heart's desire, The wind that blew my blood to fire When I was young, O would I had my youth once more, My good ship and my friends of yore ; The sea behind me and before, A wind-ridged way. Would I could hear the war-horn's din And see... the long-ships crowding in, And leap as warriors leap to win The weapon-lane. 'Twas good to share the surge of fight, 'Twas good to see the warriors smite, And good to feel my good sword bite Through steel to bone. 27 'Twas good to see strange lands and men, To brave the sea-worm in his den, And good to steer for home again With laden prow ; With slaves and gold from south-lands brought And gala sails so gaily wrought Where crimson dragons twined and fought Through fold on fold, And war-shields in a double row But it was all so long ago ; So long, that I now scarcely know If it be true That e'er I put a foe to rout, Or raised the Baresark battle-shout, Or saw the dawn come flashing out Across the sea, I loved a woman o'er the sea, Fair as a Valkyr-maid was she, And, like a Valkyr, cold to me, Cold as the dawn.
