To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
And overboard become a dish Provided for some hungry fish, The cunning Brownies managed still, With mystic power and wondrous skill, A hold on this or that to take That wind or water failed to break. But who can guard against the shocks That come to ships through sunken rocks, Or check the overturning roll When shifting cargoes gain control"? Ah, many a ship both stanch and stout, By skilful craftsmen fashioned out, Lies at the bottom of the deep, A dismal anchorage to keep 93 THE BROWNIES IN I...LLINOIS.
Where scaly creatures haunt the maze Of winding, steep companionways, Or glide through every narrow port In cabins dark to hold their sport. Then marvel not that Brownies found Themselves in water, clinging round The craft that floated up and down Far out of sight of land or town. By chance it drifted at a rate That suited well their wretched state, And soon their eyes beheld the shore From which they 'd sailed some hours before.
But, grounding ere it reached the pier, The Brownies left it, filled with fear Lest morning sun would show his face Ere they could find a hiding-place.
