What reading level is Poems of Patriotism book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
[ 58 ] I fell at the first, 'neath the wall, Then slowly came back to the world; Poor "Al," who was so big and tall.
Caught the full force of that which was hurled.
We pulled out his huge, bulky weight From debris the missile had thrown; He whispered: "I'll be all right, Mate — Don't jump if I let out a groan." Poor "Al," he had got his death stroke; We carried him down to the base.
But still he would crack off a joke About some hearse-ambulance race.
A few days he lay wan with pain — The surge...ons had come to perform; Said he: "I'll see Mother again.
But it won't be in uniform." And we buried him in a mound.
With ten others killed on that day; The firing squad let off its round.
And we all turned and marched away.
So that was the end of my Pal, His end here on earth, I should write, For I bet big, good-natured "Al" Is joking the angels tonight.
[ 59 ] Unidentified Only a locket of tarnished gold, With tiny picture, faded and old, Of kindly woman with care-worn face, Where marching years had left their sad trace.
