What reading level is Poems of the Old Days And the New book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The foe upon them, the foe afore and behind them, The king borne back in the melee ; all, all is vain ; They fly with death at their heels, fierce sun-rays blind them, Ridei-less steeds affrighted, tread down their ranks amain.
Disgrace, dishonour, no rally, ah no retrieving.
The scorn of scorns shall liis name and his nation brand, 134 THE SLEEP OF SIGISMUND.
'T is a sword that smites from the rear, his helmet cleaviug, That hurls him to earth, to his death on the desert sand.
Ever they fly, t...he cravens, and ever reviling Flies after. Athirst, ashamed, he yieldeth his breath, While one looks down from his charger ; and calm slow smiling, Curleth his lip. 'T is the Khalif. And this is death.
IV.
' Wake, yon purple peaks arise, Jagged, bare, through saffron skies ; Now is heard a twittering sweet, For the mother-martins meet, Where wet ivies, dew-besprent, Glisten on the battlement. Now the lark at heaven's gold gate Aiming, sweetly chides on fate That his brown wings wearied were When he, sure, was almost there.
