What reading level is Beyond the Stars book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
3a ABIDING HOPE I've heard it told, in times of old To satisfy their thirst for gold, Some Spaniards left their native land In search of cities, rich and grand.
On, on, they marched o'er barren sod Where civilized had never trod, With aching feet, mile after mile, In hope of plunder, afterwhile.
But when the Spaniards nearer drew To where their eyes could scan the view, They found the glory and the gold Had lived alone in fables old.
They looked for fields of golden grain, They found, instead, ...a barren plain ; For steeples high and glittering domes, They found, instead, rude savage homes.
Ah, thus in life, year after year, We seek the smile, evade the tear.
The sparkling eyes, we love to see, Forgetful, oft, of fate's decree.
An earthly land where sunshine lies.
Where joy lives on, and sorrow dies, Where seldom comes a thought of gloom Or sullen stream or barren tomb!
A few whose visions reach afar Have caught a picture more sublime, Beyond the surging waves of time, Beyond the range of sun and star.
