What reading level is All the Earth Round a Nautical Poem in Six Cantos book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Seen through the azure by the watchful eye. And there with care the seaman in the chains Calls out the depths in slow monotonous strains, Hangs o'er the side, suspended from the shroud ; ' By the mark six !' he boldly calls aloud.
Silence prevails to catch the fathoms deep. As o'er the rocks below we swiftly sweep. ' And a half five !' again he hoarsely cries, So close beneath the keel the bottom lies. Then hauls the lead, and takes another cast. And still the shelving rock is shallowing fast ;... Surrounds on every side, and to recede As great a danger waits as to proceed.
Borneo to Hong-Kong. 103 And, anxious all, we listen to the sound Of leadsman's voice, and pass the word around ; Mute patience reigns, await expectant shocks Of the great ship against the submerged rocks.
But she, unmindful, runs before the wind ; Repeated casts again no bottom find : The reef is cleared, and swift she onward rolls.
And in the distance leaves the threat'ning shoals.
All danger flown, we greet the rising breeze, To duties turn, and feel our minds at ease.
