What reading level is War Poetry of the South book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Of them, their patriot zeal and pride, The lofty faith that with them died, No grateful page shall further tellThan that so many bravely fell;And we can only dimly guessWhat worlds of all this world's distress, What utter woe, despair, and dearth, Their fate has brought to many a hearth. Just such a sky as this should weepAbove them, always, where they sleep;Yet, haply, at this very hour, Their graves are like a lover's bower;And Nature's self, with eyes unwet, Oblivious of the crimson debtTo w...hich she owes her April grace, Laughs gayly o'er their burial place.
Ode--"Do Ye Quail?" By W. Gilmore Simms.
I.
Do ye quail but to hear, Carolinians, The first foot-tramp of Tyranny's minions?Have ye buckled on armor, and brandished the spear, But to shrink with the trumpet's first peal on the ear?Why your forts now embattled on headland and height, Your sons all in armor, unless for the fight?Did ye think the mere show of your guns on the wall, And your shouts, would the souls of the heathen appal?That his lusts and his appetites, greedy as Hell, Led by Mammon and Moloch, would sink at a spell;--Nor strive, with the tiger's own thirst, lest the fleshShould be torn from his jaws, while yet bleeding afresh.
