What reading level is The Vision of Misery Hill a Legend of the Sierra Nevada And Miscellaneous Vers book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
31 Came from without, and bold men felt Their pulses strangely quicken ; And some, as when the Banshee cries, Stood dumb and terror-stricken.
And for the moment features flushed With drink and play grew pallid ; But some who dread nor quick or dead Out from the bar-room sallied, Like men impatient of defence When threat'niug foes beleaguer, Who raise the port and madly thence Make sortie swift and eager; These led the wondering rabble forth, To find no dead or dying, As that dread cry might wel...l imply, But on the roadway lying, Jim Brandon's rifle known to all, And, by the flaring candles, A pick and shovel, with " T. B. " Cut rudely in the handles !
32 THE VISION OF MISERY HILL.
What did it mean ? Was this the scene Of tragedy or juggle ? Some tracks were found as if the ground Were tramp'd in desp'rate struggle And nothing more ! But what of Jirn ?
Nay, ask the sighing pines there ! No trace was ever found of him Beyond the tracks and signs there !
Long years have passed, and over all Young pines grow rank and vernal ; And still the claim hath evil name For sights and sounds nocturnal ; And miners swear tho' buried there Beneath the waving spruces- Tom Bowers still holds Misery Hill, And nightly runs the sluices.
