What reading level is Poems Legendary And Historical book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
With which it long had been his use to fill The lonely measure of his pastoral hours, — It would have been no weak idolatry To shroud your eyes and feel your heart beat strong, As in the presence of one fresh from heaven, Come down to save that doomed and desolate man.
A strain of War, — a deep and nervous strain Of full and solemn notes, whose long-drawn swell Dies on the silence, slow and terrible, Making the blood of him who listens to it To follow the great measure ; every tone Clear in its... utterance, and eloquent Above all words : there was the settled tramp Of warriors faithful to ancestral swords ; There was the prayer that was not all a prayer, But rising in a suppliant murmuring Grows to a war-cry, — " Victory, oh God !
For Israel's God and Israel, victory ! " 62 SAUL AND DAVID.
Then came the onset, — chord fast following chord, In passionate clang, as if the conscious harp Were prodigal of all its life of sound, To give that awful feint reality.
From off the couch, at one enormous leap, To where his helmet and long-shadowing spear And brazen target hung beside the wall, Bounded the King, and grasp'd the quivering arms.
