What reading level is Poems And Ballads book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
104 A dry-rot eats her life : her God is Mammon ! God Mars no longer leaps into her heart, As in a chariot driving down to battle. Her ancient fame and valour have become A tale that's told us of forgotten times Some fabled Kraken slumbering in its sea ! ! for the voice of Milton once again, To make the lion-eyes lighten, and her heart As tremblingly alive as is a Star, Till in her naked strength majestical She walkt the sun-road of her glorious way. But England sleeps the Ruin still rolls on. ...Earth crouches 'neath the shuddering wings of Fear. Silent, and very calm, Freedom lies husht, And listens like a panting thing pursued, Hearkening, heart-stifled, for the stealthiest tread Of One that hunts like Tarquin for Lucrece. ; Tis midnight now, and all the creeping things, And Birds of Darkness, ply their ghastly work. Life gropes and stumbles among gaping graves, And Freedom's worshippers fall headless, while They bend to give their hearts up at her shrine ! But God's in heaven, and yet the Day shall dawn Break from the dark upon her golden wings, Her quick, ripe splendours rend and burn the gloom, Her living tides of glory burst, and foam, And hurry along the darkeu'd streets of night.
