What reading level is The Complete Poetical Works of Oliver Wendell Holmes book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
And thou art here alone, — alone, — Sing, little bird ! the rest have flown.
The snow has capped yon distant hill, At morn the running brook was still.
From driven herds the clouds that rise Are like the smoke of sacrifice; Erelong the frozen sod shall mock The ploughshare, changed to stubborn rock.
The brawling streams shall soon be dumb, — Sing, little bird ! the frosts have come.
Fast, fast the lengthening shadows creep, The songless fowls are halt asleep.
The air grows chill, the setting su...n May leave thee ere thy song is done.
The pulse that warms thy breast grow cold, Tl^ secret die with thee, untold: The lingering sunset still is bright, — Sing, little bird ! 't will soon be night.
DOROTHY Q.
A FAMILY PORTRAIT I cannot tell the story of Dorothy Q. mora simply in prose than I have told it in verse, but I can add something to it.
Dorothy was the daug^hter of Judge Edmund Quincy, and the niece of Josiah Quincy, junior, the young patriot and orator who died j)ist before the American Kevolution, of which he THE ORGAN-BLOWER 187 was one of the most eloquent and effective pro- moters.
