What reading level is Fair Helen a Tale of the Border book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
is there none of all the throng Of the mighty sons of Minstrelsy, May dare to raise one sacred song To the memory of the free ?
May dare at hallowed eve to tread O'er the sod that wraps the mighty dead, And wake a bold, a lasting theme, The renown of the warrior's cherished name ; Rend the dark ivy from his grave, And sing to the shades of the perished brave ?
'Tis partial still, for a thousand names Are ushering forth their deathless claims, 210 FAIR HELEN. CANTO V.
Are bending in wrath from t...heir thrones on high, And claiming the meed shall never die.
For they have fought ; yes, they have bled, For their country's right was their life-blood shed ; Have stood in the conflict's serried van, Where the swords of the brave were proudly drawn ; Where the high resolve was the fame of the free, And the shout was death or victory.
Yes 1 they the eternal meed shall have, When the battle's last retreat is blown : I pause not now. Lo ! the sons of the brave In awful wrath are hurrying on ; Are dying their battle sabres red ; Are wading amid the blood of the dead ; While loud the shuddering shriek and yell Is echoed back from field and fell.
