What reading level is Afternoon Songs book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
TREASURE-SHIPS.
Shawls from the looms of Ispahan ; Ivory white as milk; Shimmer of satin and rare brocade, And fold upon fold of silk ; Gauzes that India's maidens wear; Spices, and rare perfumes; Fruits that hold in their honeyed cups The wealth of the summer blooms.
The blood of a thousand vines ; The cotton's drifted snow ; The fragrant heart of the precious woods That deep in the tropics grow; The strength of the giant hills; The might of the iron ore ; The golden corn, and the yellow wheat..., From earth's broad threshing-floor.
Yet, O ye beautiful ships!
There are ships that come not back, With flying pennant and swelling sail, Over yon shining track!
54 TREASURE-SHIPS.
Who can reckon their precious stores, Or measure the might have been ?
Who can tell what they held for us The ships that will ne'er come in ?
CHOOSING.
MEADOW-SWEET or lily fair Which shall it be? Clematis or brier-rose, Blooming for me? Spicy pink, or violet With the dews of morning wet, Sweet peas or mignonette Which shall it be?
