What reading level is Representative Southern Poets book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Weary weeks of the stick and crutch ; And still a glint of the steel-blue eye ■ Told of a spirit that wouldn't die, "And didn't. Nay, more ! in death's despite The crippled Skeleton 'learned to write.' Dear mother, at first, of course ; and then Dear captain, inquiring about the men.
Captain's answer : of eighty and five, Giffen and I are left alive.
"Word of gloom from the war, one day ; Johnston pressed at the front, they say.
Little Giffen was up and away ; A tear — his first — as he bade go...od-by.
Dimmed the glint of his steel-blue eye.
'I'll write, if spared!' There was news of the fight; But none of Giffen — he did not write.
"I sometimes fancy that, were I king Of the princely Knights of the Golden Ring, With the song of the minstrel in mine ear, And the tender legend that trembles here, I'd give the best on his bended knee, The whitest soul of my chivalry.
For 'Little Giffen,' of Tennessee." I am sure even the small number of Dr.
Ticknor's poems which I have reproduced here will be amply sufficient to justify the praise which has been bestowed upon his best poetic Francis Orrery Ticknor 147 work, and that it is rigfht to call him "one of the truest and sweetest lyric poets this country has yet produced." As expressing my own opinion of him as man and as poet, I cannot do better than to quote the concluding paragraph of Hayne's memoir : "The man's soul, — sturdy yet gentle, stal- wart yet touched by a feminine sweetness — informed them always ; and, if it can hardly be said of his lyrics that each was "polished as the bosom of a star,' still the light irradiating them seldom failed to be light from the heaven of true inspiration." MARGARET JUNKIN PRESTON Margaret Junkin Preston was born in the city of Philadelphia in 1820.
