What reading level is The Trumpeters And Other Poems book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Straight down the broadening bay she bore, Destroying every ship she met — To where, upon the ocean-floor, The Monitor, a sea vidette.
Paced to and fro across her path ; 'Twas man-of-war against a toy; 'Twas as Goliath, him of Gath, And Israel's slender shepherd-boy.
The pigmy parried well the stroke Whose weight was many a thousand tons, And in her iron turret woke From sleep her thunder-throated guns.
The heavy missiles fell like hail; They rent and pierced the monster's hide, Crushed beam an...d rib, broke plate and scale, And sent her helpless down the tide.
69 A famous battle, nobly won!
Honor the gallant men who fought; But honor most John Ericsson, Who brought the foeman's power to naught!
And ever green his memory keep, As countless years their cycles run, The while he sleeps in dreamless sleep, The brave old man whose work is none.
DANDELIONS.
Bright coinage of the generous sun, Down-flung, and scattered, one by one — They star with gold the green plateau, And light the landscape with their glow!
