What reading level is War Verse And Other Verse book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
At length found honor and renown.
.A^nd such was he who, left alone With naught but mind and pen.
Entered the field wherein had grown Hundreds of giant men, And here he toiled from day to day.
Till he had grown as great as they.
'Tvvas not mere accident that made His name as widely known, Misfortune would his steps have stayed, And crushed him basely down.
The wreath of fame he ne'er had worn, Had he no toil or labor borne.
Renown is but a worthless thing, When bought with human gore.
Though ga...ined by emperor or king, 'Tis worthless evermore, But 'tis at once a noble prize When bought with honest energies.
The politician with base art, The trickster by vile schemes May gain, of fame's applause, a part The acme of his dreams, But such applause is vile and stained Compared with that by virtue gained.
Thanks for the lesson of thy life.
Our Nation's honored sage !
'Twill teach us in the world's fierce strife With firmness to engage.
And that the noblest, truest fame Is that acquired in honor's name.
