What reading level is Poems in Wartime book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
the cycle rounds again, The new is as the old!
With rudder foully broken, And sails by traitors torn, Our country on a midnight seaIs waiting for the morn.
Before her, nameless terror;Behind, the pirate foe;The clouds are black above her, The sea is white below.
The hope of all who suffer, The dread of all who wrong, She drifts in darkness and in storm, How long, O Lord I how long?
But courage, O my marinersYe shall not suffer wreck, While up to God the freedman's prayersAre rising from your de...ck.
Is not your sail the bannerWhich God hath blest anew, The mantle that De Matha wore, The red, the white, the blue?
Its hues are all of heaven, The red of sunset's dye, The whiteness of the moon-lit cloud, The blue of morning's sky.
Wait cheerily, then, O mariners, For daylight and for land;The breath of God is in your sail, Your rudder is His hand.
Sail on, sail on, deep-freightedWith blessings and with hopes;The saints of old with shadowy handsAre pulling at your ropes.
Behind ye holy martyrsUplift the palm and crown;Before ye unborn ages sendTheir benedictions down.
