Excerpt from Lotus LeavesThe silent frost of Christmastide crept all the house around, As dusky twilight dimly fell and hushed each wakeful sound. Without, the stars were peeping, and within the curtained room The fire aglow within the grate, dispelled the shades and gloom. A crackling noise, a Shower of sparks, an azure ¿ame of light, A waving Spire of glancing fire made the dark chimney bright, The dead coal glowed with living heat, while on the hearthrug sat And purred before the genial blaze a meditative cat.Benign approval beamed from out those orbs of emerald green, As straight he sat upon the mat all in the fiery sheen, With forward ears and head erect and tail curled tightly round, His mind, in wonder, all intent upon the crackling sound.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
