To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
When the Eagle soared and its broad wings spread Bove the shores of an angered land, Sailed they the first of the Viking first Where the treacherous waters spanned. When the Eagle s Brood awoke to the shriek Of the great shells day and night, First of the flock bled they beneath The star-flare s blinding light. When the lunging, torn front lines locked And the strife raged man and man, Swept they the first of the fighting first And the van of the battle van. From the training days of Gondrecour...t- Demange cold, wet and gray 53 To the trenches north of Luneville To Bouconville Xivray To the crater-pitted, wasted tracts Of war-torn Picardy, And the ghastly rubble hilltop Where Cantigny used to be: To the splendid days of Soissons The crisis of the strife : To where giant pincers severed St. Mihiel as a knife: To the glorious, stubborn struggle Up the rugged Argonne slopes, Till the gates of Sedan crumbled With the Vandals crumbling hopes. Sweeping in conquering columns To the banks of the vaunted Rhine- Ever the first of the fighting first, And the Lords of the Battle Line.
