What reading level is Ballads of Blue Water And Other Poems book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
— Lawrence, Porter, Trippe, Macdonough, and a score as true and bold ; Every star that lights their banner tells the glory that they won ; But one common sailor's glory is the splendor of the sun.
Reuben James was first to follow when Decatur laid aboard Of the lofty Turkish galley and in battle broke his sword.
22 REUBEN JAMES Then the pirate captain smote him, till his blood was running fast, And they grappled and they struggled, and they fell beside the mast. Close behind him Reuben battled ...with a dozen, undismayed, Till a bullet broke his sword-arm, and he dropped the useless blade. Then a swinging Turkish sabre clove his left and brought him low, Like a gallant bark, dismasted, at the mercy of the foe. Little mercy knows the corsair : high his blade was raised to slay, When a richer prize allured him where Decatur struggling lay. " Help ! " the Turkish leader shouted, and his trusty comrade sprung, And his scimetar like lightning o'er the Yankee captain swung.
Reuben James, disabled, armless, saw the sabre Hashed on high, Saw Decatur shrink before it, heard the pirate's taunting cry, Saw, in half the time I tell it, how a sailor brave and true REUBEN JAMES 23 Still might show a bloody pirate what a dying man can do.
