What reading level is The Home book of Verse — volume 1 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Every pine and fir and hemlockWore ermine too dear for an earl, And the poorest twig on the elm-treeWas ridged inch deep with pearl.
From sheds new-roofed with CarraraCame Chanticleer's muffled crow, The stiff rails softened to swan's-down, And still fluttered down the snow.
I stood and watched by the windowThe noiseless work of the sky, And the sudden flurries of snow-birds, Like brown leaves whirling by.
I thought of a mound in sweet AuburnWhere a little headstone stood;How the flakes were fo...lding it gently, As did robins the babes in the wood.
Up spoke our own little Mabel, Saying, "Father, who makes it snow?"And I told of the good All-fatherWho cares for us here below.
Again I looked at the snow-fall, And thought of the leaden skyThat arched o'er our first great sorrow, When that mound was heaped so high.
I remembered the gradual patienceThat fell from that cloud like snow, Flake by flake, healing and hidingThe scar that renewed our woe.
And again to the child I whispered, "The snow that husheth all, Darling, the merciful FatherAlone can make it fall" Then, with eyes that saw not, I kissed her;And she, kissing back, could not knowThat my kiss was given to her sister, Folded close under deepening snow.
