What reading level is A Village Sketch, And Other Poems book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A LAMENT.
He has laid his burden down ! At last he sleeps !
Those weary days, those wasting nights, are o'er ; The Nation bows its stricken head, and weeps !
Could nature, feeble nature, suffer more ?
Around his grave shall mourning thousands stand, As long as men love faith and manly worth ; His name a household word throughout a land That honors high endeavor more than birth.
'Tis Learning mourns a lover, who ne'er knew A holier fount than her Pierian spring ; A LAMENT. Ji 'Tis Charity that m...ourns a suitor true, Who brought the gifts that faith in man could bring.
Yes, Statesmanship stands here, with head bowed down, And Friendship with Religion, hand in hand ; And Eloquence has brought her laurel crown ; While lowly, sun-burnt toilers of the land, A weeping concourse, 'round his bier proclaim, " A noble life excels a diadem " ; E'en sceptred princes join the wide acclaim, And swell the chorus of his requiem !
His brilliant life repeats the sounding story, The legend told of Fame's enchanted halls : There is no royal road that leads to glory, By birthright no one scales her sapphire walls.
