What reading level is Poems book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Deep roll the cannon o'er the stony street, And loudly sounds the tramp of marching feet. See, now, the Sun ascending gilds the plain, The impetuous riders give their steeds the rein ; Each eager lancer lifts his polished spear, And spurs his charger on to full career. The sabres glitter, and the musquets flash, And on the foe the reckless horsemen dash. The thund'ring cannon spread their sulphrous pall, Fit shroud, o'er those that fight and those that fall. In vain Napoleon's desperate soldier...s die, Dispersed like dust the broken squadrons fly. Then, Wellington, thy name on Quatre Bras Pealed like a watchword o'er the ensanguined war When at the last the glorious charge was done. And the red field by one assault was won ; 92 On the Duke of Wellington.
And what was then Napoleon, what was Ney, To snatch that dear-bought victory away ? The Tartar Tiraour through the orient world, Even from their thrones a hundred monarchs hurled; Yet Tamerlane was far less feared than hira, That modern Moloch, prince of carnage grim, Whose genius was unequalled, save by thee Who checked his onward course of victory.
