What reading level is Songs of New Sweden book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Few were they at the drum^s stem call, A round or two had they in all, And when the frowning battery old Once had pronounced its challenge bold, Silent each gun must stand and cold; But when fair Sweden called to arms.
Welcome were toil and war's alarms.
5.
With trumpets pla3ring loud and fierce.
And glittering steel, the Swede to pierce.
And deafening drums, and gaudy flags.
And booty rich, which somewhat lags; With war-ships gay and terrible.
Whose guns the strongest forte could fell.
Whose s...ailors, veterans of the seas.
The highest wall could scale with ease; Taking all things their hands could touch To Fort Christina came the Dutch.
6.
Loudly they laughed.
Deeply they quaflFed, 84 SONGS OF NEW-SWEDEN Fiercely was clutched each weapon's haft.
As, through the sweet September air, When eve had hushed their trumpets' blare, They saw the banner of the Swede, Waving above the river reed.
But more than empty scoff and rant Intended Peter Stu3rvesant; And, with the morning drum, was sent A message from his lordly tent; The salutations of the sender, And summons to a swift surrender.
