What reading level is The Lute of Life book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
LAST HOURS OF CHATTERTON My dreams are almost over, My days of love are done, Dark are the clouds that cover The cold cheek of the sun ; Tho' still the life-light flashes - Within my tired eyes, My hopes they are but ashes ! My heart see where it lies !
Delight no longer wooes me, And all desire is vain ; Disaster still pursues me Behind the hounds of pain ; My blood that once went leaping In riotous unrest, Now, chilled with care, is creeping 1 And curdling in my breast.
Regret itself has peri...shed, And not one passion stirs The ruddy springs that nourished The loves of other years ; Dead, too, is all endeavor, And little 'tis I care How soon the Sisters sever The cords that hold me here.
No man to me is neighbor, I, neighbor unto none Each tongue is like a sabre Adrip with murder done ; 192 _ The Lute of Life The artful robs the artless, The knave, the fool what then?
The grave is not more heartless Than are the ways of men.
ANOTHER VIEW 'Twere pleasant, that in flowery June, When birds send up a cheerful tune, And groves a joyous sound, The sexton's hand, my grave to make, The rich green mountain turf should break.
