What reading level is Three Memorial Poems book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Here English law and English thought 'Gainst the self-will of England fought ; And here were men (coequal with their fate), Who did great things, unconscious they were great.
They dreamed not what a die was cast With that first answering shot ; what then ?
There was their duty ; they were men Schooled the soul's inward gospel to obey, Though leading to the lion's den.
They felt the habit-hallowed world give way Ode read at Concord, 25 Beneath their lives, and on went they, Unhappy who was last....
When Buttrick gave the word, That awful idol of the unchallenged Past, Strong in their love, and in their lineage strong, Fell crashing : if they heard it not, Yet the earth heard.
Nor ever hath forgot.
As on from startled throne to throne.
Where Superstition sate or conscious Wrong, A shudder ran of some dread birth unknown.
Thrice venerable spot !
River more fateful than the Rubicon !
O'er those red planks, to snatch her diadem, Man's Hope, star-girdled, sprang with them, And over ways untried the feet of Doom strode on.
