What reading level is Powhatan a Metrical Romance in Seven Cantos book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The awful clouds roll high and dark, The winds have a roaring sound, The branches from stout trees are torn And hurl'd upon the ground ; And now the rain in torrents falls How her feeble limbs do shake !
Such gloom without, such grief within, Her young heart sure must break.
VII.
But Jamestown's death-devoted sons In conscious safety rest ; The natives, months before, had ceased The pale-face to molest ; Pamunky's rich and generous gift Their confidence increased, And on the morrow all would sh...are In joyfulness their feast. 'Tis now the darkest midnight hour, But yet Sir John sleeps not He listeth to the storm without ; The rain beats down like shot Against the wall and on the roof; The wind is strong and high, And bellowing thunders burst and roll Athwart the troubled sky. 11* 126 POWHATAN.
A moment's pause what sound is that ?
A light tap at the door Can mortal be abroad to-night ?
That feeble tap once more He opes the door ; his dim light falls Upon a slender form The monarch's daughter standeth there, Like a spirit of the storm !
