What reading level is Songs And Other Verse book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Mother said such waste would ruin father, quite!But Sister Jane preserved a mien no pleading could confoundAs she utilized the raisins and the citron by the pound.
Oh, hours of chaos, tumult, heat, vexatious din, and whirl!Of deep humiliation for the sullen hired-girl;Of grief for mother, hating to see things wasted so, And of fortune for that little boy who pined to taste that dough!It looked so sweet and yellow--sure, to taste it were no sin--But, oh! how sister scolded if he stuck his finger... in!
The chances were as ten to one, before the job was through, That sister'd think of something else she'd great deal rather do!So, then, she'd softly steal away, as Arabs in the night, Leaving the girl and ma to finish up as best they might;These tactics (artful Sister Jane) enabled her to takeOr shift the credit or the blame of that too-treacherous cake!
And yet, unhappy is the man who has no Sister Jane--For he who has no sister seems to me to live in vain. I never had a sister--may be that is why todayI'm wizened and dyspeptic, instead of blithe and gay;A boy who's only forty should be full of romp and mirth, But _I _(because I'm sisterless) am the oldest man on earth!
