What reading level is The Song of the City book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But the life of which men say : " The world has given him bread; nd what gives he to the world as pay For the crust on which he fed ? " I would pour out strength, and then When I have no strength to give.
No use, no share in the lives of men Who toil, and fight, and live — Then let the end come fast, Whatever my past success; That I may not cumber the ground at last, Nor linger in uselessness.
§5 THE SONG OF THE CITY The Tenement Back-Yards Close by the elevated the worst of the back-yards lie....
Barren, desolate spaces under an ashen sky, Bottles and boxes and papers and pieces of glass and tin, And rotted boards of fencing that shut the scrap- heap in.
Hopeless, dreary ash-piles — and yet there is laugh- ter here; And hearts bowed down with labor still trace the round of the year, When the rays of first spring sunshine strike through the dingy pane.
And the broken, rag-stuffed windows are stripped of their rags again.
37 THE SONG OF THE CITY For over the dust and ashes roll surges of con- quering life, Life and the glory of living, the joy and the pain and the strife.
