What reading level is The Blue And the Gray, And Other Verses book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
THE MISER 49 She asked for a farthing: I gave her a curse.
She plunged : — and the city provided a hearse !
No matter. — It might have been terribly worse!
'Twas only a poor man's daughter !
Clink — clink!
A delicate eyelid flashed me a wink, Yesterday; — close by the Park, I think; What widow was it, I wonder!
Why smile upon me, grim, ugly and old?
If the fork of the lightning was woven of gold They'd lasso each flash with a veil's white fold, Despite the growl of the thunder!
Clink — clink!
T...hey call my tenement block a sink Of crime and poverty. — Scold, I think, These slimy hypocrite teachers!
I only know if the rental is paid, Nor care who starves ; — old mother, or maid ; Who batters with club, or stabs with blade!
That I leave to the Preachers !
50 THE MISER Clink — clink !
My beautiful gold, thy gleams I drink, The only wine that is sweet, I think: Outshining stars of even !
I love thee better than sun-brown hair, Better than sick men June's warm air.
Better than angels the penitent's prayer.
