What reading level is Poems of the South And Other Verse book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
One brave battalion reels, A moment stunned and staggering — The color-sergeant kneels With them who are his banner's guard, But rising from the blow, To front he speeds, and lo ! the line Bends forward like a bow.
A faint and feeble tenor shout Becomes a deep bass roar.
And on the tumbling column sweeps As breakers strike the shore ; It batters 'gainst the line of works, Then dashes full amain.
High over wall and ditch, and floods An open field again.
The pressing line, with vantage flushed, C...rowds grimly on the foe, That, stubborn, yields no inch not fought, But deals his blow for blow, Till from a raking enfilade.
Of shrapnel, shell and shot, SONGS Of WAR AND PEACE 139 The bleeding remnant quits the field That pluck from valor got.
The powder-clouds and sulph'rous stench Uplift and blow away, And side by side, in soldier sleep — And peace — lie Blue and Gray; The saddened sun sinks red adown The western sky, and, lo !
The lightnings flash, to Love that lost, Another crash of woe.
