What reading level is Enslaved, And Other Poems book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Sweet smoke was wreathing Out of a trap- door near us ; heavy breathing Came from a woman sleeping near the trap.
I crept to her, not knowing what might hap.
She was an old Moor woman with primmed lips, And foul white hair, and hennaed finger-tips That clutched a dark hair blanket to her chin.
* * * I crept to the trap-door and peered within.
A ladder led within. A lantern burning Showed us a passage leading to a turning, But open to the garden at one end.
46 ENSLAVED Even as we peered, a man c...ame round the bend, Walked slowly down that lamp-lit corridor, And stood to watch the garden at the door.
We saw his back within that moonlit square.
He had a curving sword which glittered bare.
He stood three minutes still, watching the night ; Each beating second made the east more light.
He cracked and relished nuts or melon-seeds.
The hoof- sparks of the morning's running steeds Made a pale dust now in the distant east, But still the man stood cracking at his feast, Nut after nut ; then flinging broken shell Into the rose-walk, clicking as it fell, He turned towards us up the passage dim.
