To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Soldiers sang it in camp; women read it with tears; children repeated it in school, vaguely but truly perceiving in it, as thirty years before their fathers had per- ceived in Webster's "Reply to Hayne," the idea of union made "simple, sensu- ous, passionate." No American poem has had a more dramatic and intense life in the quick-breathing imagination of men. Mrs. Howe lived for half a century after her famous lyric was written, but the aureole of that one achievement rested over her until the ...end. She was a notable figure at public gatherings, and her commemorative verses on various centenary occasions were received with delight. She prepared a poem for the first meeting of the American Academy of Arts and Letters at Washington, in December, 1909. She was then eighty, and to the very close, in her public ap- pearances, she preserved the clear, telling voice, the wit, the indomitable energy, of youth. A very human wom- an, a very feminine and wise woman, Mrs. Howe had a place all her own in the aflfectionate admiration of her con- temporaries.
