What reading level is The Secret Hill Poems book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Around the pool the withered rushes lean, Or blackened heather writhes ; and in between The treacherous mosses spread their sullen green.
No footstep breaks the silence ; the wild goat Seeks other pastures, and the eagles float Above, and passing, scream with angry throat.
But shepherds in the gloaming sometimes hear A noise of battle by the lonely mere, And hurrying homewards, cross themselves for fear.
And one told how, belated in the snow, He heard the sound, and would, but could not go, So ...gazed into the drifting mists below.
And in the moonbeams saw a hand arise Gripping a rusty blade, and dreadful eyes Beneath a glittering helm, and heard strange cries.
Then through a rift an ancient banner flung Its tattered splendour, and around it rung The cries of men in some forgotten tongue.
19 Tall spearheads pierced the mist a moment's space In ordered ranks, then sank and left no trace, As a stone sinks into the sea's embrace.
A cold breeze blew the mists apart. Between Shone the pale beauty of an armed queen Who gazed, wide-eyed, at one who stood unseen.
