What reading level is The Revellers a Poem book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Chariots on the tops Of mountains did they leap, Before them all like Eden bloomed, Behind a ruined heap.
At sight of them the lilies fade, And very strong men quake, And distant sounds of chariot wheels The mighty mountains shake.
Then Roland caught a javelin up And hurled it at the band; Like lightning on its way it flew Forth from his stalwart hand.
But though it struck the foremost one And pierced his body through, He never ceased his onward course, And not a wound he knew.
THE REVEL.
Now a...ll the revellers were mute And no one heard a sound; Save now and then a choking sigh, T\vas silence all around.
On came the awful messengers, Their mighty bows they drew, And quickly through the silent air Each shining arrow flew.
Some quivered in the vaulted roof, Some struck the purple fruit, And thick and fast the missiles fell Among the revellers mute.
And everything the arrows touched Did instant wither up; The choicest viands were destroyed And overturned each cup.
One arrow struck the haughty youth, Struck Roland in the breast, Just as of Leila s frightened face He made a careless jest.
