What reading level is Poems book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Huzza ! for the land of fierce affray, Of sun, and song, and fight !
FORTITUDE.
T F the tried spirit do not bend, There thrives no woe that will not end. 8 WAR.
O prate to fools of Glory's breath, Of honors won amid the fray ; Of daring deeds in face of death, Where hecatombs are swept away ; Of all the idle pomp of fame, Of laurels dyed in human gore ; Of grateful cities' high acclaim.
And History's immortal score ; Of all the horrors knaves invent To minister to gain ; Of all the scourges eve...r sent To thrive on misery and pain. I hate them all the foes of weal, The ruthless reapers of the grave ; Fools only fight while scoundrels steal, And cities spurn their mangled brave ; WAR.
The flimsy wreath soon fades away, The dauntless lines are soon forgot, And Death exults above his prey, And haunts alone the bloody spot.
YOUTHFUL POEMS.
