What reading level is The Song Lore of Ireland : Erin's Story in Music And Verse book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

Here is O'Curry's translation: There's black grief on the plains, And a mist on the hills; There is fury on the mountains.
And that is no wonder; I would empty out the wild ocean With the shell of an egg, If I could but be at peace with thee.
My Rois geal dubh.
my loved one, be not gloomy For what has happened to thee; "We have friends beyond the sea.
And they're returning o'er the tidej Thy pardon from the Pope Of Rome we shall have.
And a hundred healths in Spanish wine To my Rois geal dubh.
...1 would travel all Munster with thee, And the top of each hill, In the hope to gain thy favor And a happy share in thy love; 206 THE SONG LORE OF IRELAND O sweet branch, who has told me That thou hads't love for me, Thou art the flower of accomplished women.
My Rois geal duole.
But whatever significance the " Roisin dubh " may originally have had, it becomes grandly national in Mangan's paraphrase, " Dark Rosaleen," surely one of the impassioned lyrics in all poetry. Man- gan's verses are known to the whole world; yet the verses which most nearly parallel the Gaelic original translated by O'Curry ought not to be omitted here: Oh I my dark Rosaleen, Do not sigh, do not weep t The priests are on the ocean green, They march along the deep.
