What reading level is The Fighting Race, And Other Poems And Ballads book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:


You have no place above a christian grave: Your young Greek rapture doth the dead annoy, Whom Christ, thorn-crowned, was crucified to save.
Here all is cold. Here faith is frozen calm.
Here hope is sober as a winter cloud.
Love must seem sorrow. But the martyr's palm Shall mate the willow silver-grey and bowed.
Here sunshine should not dance but to a psalm.
Here winds should never pipe their songs aloud.
For sign of life, the shaven grass alone.
For memory, a labyrinth of stone.
Whence random s
...hafts and broken columns rise.
Or shapes in rigid garments point to distant skies.
"To statues bare like you, the Board, Both scandalized and wroth, demurs: Nor place nor plot to you it can afford." Thus spake the Master of the Sepulchres.
But at night, when the full moon shed Her blue-green magic among the graves, And the stars flashed faint in a sky of steel.
While the low wind ruffled the grass as it sped, The harsh gate-bell rang a shivering peal That jangled chill o'er the harbor waves.
