What reading level is The Sad Years book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The maid, reluctant rising, frees the door; A dog runs forth with shrill, offensive bark. The clock strikes eight! The curtains pulled aside Let in the light, so cold, so bleak, so grey. From their dark hiding come familiar things, And through my window looks another day. [36] THE SAD YEARS TO BID HER LIVE BRING to her spring flowers, Cowslip and celandine, And bid her hear the blackbird's song. Let pass the sunny hours In her dull room to shine, Lay cherry blossom her thin arm along. Bring all... the sweets of June, Pale viola and rue, Garlands of fragrant roses, pink and white. The young birds' broken tune, The larkspur gold and blue, Let in the gentle harping of the night. When russet autumn comes, Lad's-love and lavender Fling on her bed. Go, shake red apples down, Sun-kissed and purple plums, The sweet and luscious pear, Bring her on leaves of crimson, green, and brown. [37] THE SAD YEARS TO BID HER LIVE (Continued) When comes the winter snow, Then close the shutters tight To hide the falling leaves and stricken tree, The silent birds that go, Through cold and cheerless light, And winter's shroud on all life's liberty.
