What reading level is The Bluebell, And Other Verse book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We would dress and smile so sweetly — If we didn't have to cook; And we'd keep the house so neatly — If we didn't have to cook.
We would know where each thing's place is, And we'd wash the children's faces.
And we'd cultivate the graces — If we didn't have to cook.
Living would be such a pleasure — If we didn't have to cook; Comfort would be ours, full measure — If we didn't have to cook.
Oh, for some one whose attention Shall be turned to an invention That shall cure the ills I mention, So we ...will not have to cook!
23 HOUSEKEEPING.
Yes, my work is prosaic, I frankly admit; For of romance it boasts not the least little bit.
But, though every hour of the whole day my hands Are busy with pots and with kettles and pans — Though in place of a sweet hour with some favorite book, I must iron and scrub, I must scour and must cook — Have you never yet heard that no power can bind Or tie down the wings of a free-soaring mind ?
Though my hands are engaged in a humble employment, Rest assured that my mind seeks a higher enjoyment.
