What reading level is Rio Grandes Last Race Other Verses book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
`For the stays and stanchions taut, For the rivets truly wrought, For the valves that fit their faces as a glove should fit the hand. Give her every ounce of power, If we make a knot an hourThen it's way enough to steer her and we'll drive her from the land. ' Like a foam flake tossed and thrown, She could barely hold her own, While the other ships all helplessly were drifting to the lee. Through the smother and the rout The `Calliope' steamed out --And they cheered her from the Trenton tha...t was foundering in the sea.
Aye! drifting shoreward there, All helpless as they were, Their vessel hurled upon the reefs as weed ashore is hurled. Without a thought of fear The Yankees raised a cheer --A cheer that English-speaking folk should echo round the world.
Do They Know Do they know? At the turn to the straight Where the favourites fail, And every atom of weight Is telling its tale;As some grim old stayer hard-pressed Runs true to his breed, And with head just in front of the rest Fights on in the lead;When the jockeys are out with the whips, With a furlong to go;And the backers grow white to the lips -- Do you think THEY don't know?
