What reading level is The Christmas Trail book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
You have played the thief with the dead, That s shameful I know ; And yet you have picked with discretion The men you would owe.
Your sin of a truth is unholy, And yet I condone ; Far better to give us the worst of another Than the best of your own.
HERE S TO """THE little poets of little thought and song, I Who sing so carelessly, and jog along; Who without thought of critic, or of gain, Go spattering lyrics like an April rain!
AUGUST 1914 A MILLION war-swept people raise Their stricken hands ...in air ; The women voice a nation s woe Too great for them to bear ; And babes stretch out a tiny palm And find no mother there ; For kings into each other s hands Have thrust the sword of war.
The humming mills no longer pour Their smoke across the sky; Where once the harvest fields stretched fair The grinding armies lie ; And women learn with blenchless face To watch their husbands die ; For kings into each other s hands Have thrust the sword of war.
How long, how long, oh, Silent Christ, Must we, thy children, hear The iron words of mimic gods Call out their war-like gear; How long must we thus blindly die Beasts brutalized by fear, When kings into each other s hands Shall thrust the sword of war?
