What reading level is The Folk Songs of Southern India book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Then a dozen blooming maids Crowned with heavy glossy braids, Leave the house like happy fays.
Each one brings into the fields An offering to the God that shields House and home from drought and pain. Each one lifts her tiny hands, Before the Sun a moment stands, Offers thanks for heat and rain.
Then they pluck the tender plant, Tie in bundles laid aslant ; Twenty bundles make a sheaf. Next the sheaves are carried thence* To their future residence, Where they spend their life so brief.
But they... only plough a part Of the field to which they cart Plants so tender and so young. Just enough is done each day For the plants they have to lay The new-made soil among.
* Paddy is seldom sown on the spot where it is to grow. The seed is thickly planted in a rich garden piece of the best land. This nursery is prepared with great care, as the song describes. In order to secure that its soil shall be intimately mixed with the water, the ground is ploughed no less than seven times, the trampling of the cattle being more effective than the plough.
