What reading level is Sea Songs And Other Verses book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" O, I will carry thee over the foam, And safe in my keeping thou may'st roam, So shalt thou find in me a home, O Sailor. What will you give to me, Cold, deep, sea ? " O, I will bury thee 'neath my wave, For mine is the power to drown or save, So shalt thou find in me a grave, O Sailor. The ^Destroyer. To the call of a sea-borne people, Girt with a coast-wise shore, The soul of a Master workman Fashioned a thing of war ; That whenever a harnessed nation Should proffer the gage of mail, They mig...ht find in the swift Destroyer A bulwark of avail. He modelled the throbbing engine With the touch of a craftsman's skill ; He moulded the flush, skin-plating, To the bid of his Master will ; And he loosed the grim Destroyer Queen of the scudding seas As a menace, courting warfare, And a harbinger of peace. So ye that have braved the ocean And delved in her boundless breast, Her bosom of wave-swept billows And the haven-lull of rest ; Go, seek in the toiling dockyards, Go, learn from the grey sea- void How the power of the pulsing Destroyer Is the pulse of the powerless destroyed.
