What reading level is Poems book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
On July 1st, the great advance began. At six in the evening of July 4th, the Legion was ordered to clear the enemy out of the villageof Belloy-en-Santerre. Alan Seeger advanced in the first rush, and his squad was enfiladed by the fire of six German machine guns, concealed in a hollow way. Most of them went down, and Alan among them --wounded in several places. But the following waves of attackwere more fortunate. As his comrades came up to him, Alan cheered them on; and as they left him behind..., they heard him singing a marching-song in English: -- Accents of ours were in the fierce melee.
They took the village, they drove the invaders out;but for some reason unknown--perhaps a very good one --the battlefield was left unvisited that night. Next morning, Alan Seeger lay dead.
There is little to add. He wrote his own best epitaph in the "Ode": -- And on those furthest rims of hallowed ground Where the forlorn, the gallant charge expires, When the slain bugler has long ceased to sound, And on the tangled wires The last wild rally staggers, crumbles, stops, Withered beneath the shrapnel's iron showers: -- Now heaven be thanked, we gave a few brave drops, Now heaven be thanked, a few brave drops were ours.
