What reading level is The Other Side, And Other Poems book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
(And there isn't much choice between Reds and Blacks, For Death throws " zero " whichever he backs.) [38] Digitized by VjOOQIC So that whether man plays for the red gold's wealth Where the little ball clicks and spins, Or hazards his life in the black night's stealth When machine-gun fire begins — It's a limited gamble; and each of us knows What he stands to lose ere the tables close.
But woman's gamble — (there's only one: And it takes some pluck to play, When the rules are broke ere the game'...s begun; When, lose or win, you must pay!) — Is a double wager on human kind, A limitless risk — and she goes it blind.
For she stakes, at love, on a single throw, Pride, Honour, Scruples and Fears, And dreams no lover can hope to know.
And the gold of the after-years.
(And all for a man; and there's no man lives Who is worth the odds that a woman gives.) So that since you hazarded this for me On the day love's die was cast, I'll love you — gambler ! — while " fours " beat three; And I'll lay on our love to last, So long as a man will wager a price On a horse or a card or the ball or the dice.
