Ella, Vol. 1 of 3

Excerpt from Ella, Vol. 1 of 3: Or, the Emperor's Son Ella; Or The Emperor's Son Last night when o'er the thickly studded sky The fleecy clouds would ever and anon Eclipse the gems of Heaven, I marked one star That twinkled in its sphere so joyously, The pitying vapours, as in tenderness Forebore that part of Heaven, - and passed along On either side, leaving an open path Where that star lay: and as I looked on it And thought upon my own unclouded life I called that star myself; when on the instant A heavy streak, that had in ambush lain Crept over it, and made a blot of darkness Where it had been. I saw my star no more. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
