Excerpt from The Blind Girl of Castèl-CuillèStand the cart-house and the stalls, Dwelleth the blind orphan still, Daughter of a veteran old, And you must know, one year ago, That Margaret, the young and tender, Was the village pride and splendor, And Baptiste her lover bold.Love, the deceiver, them ensnared For them the altar was prepared, But alas! The summer's blight, The dread disease that none can stay, The pestilence that walks by night, Took the young bride's sight away.All at the father's stern command was changed Their peace was gone, but not their love estranged. Wearied at home, ere long the lover ¿ed, Returned but three short days ago, The golden chain they round him throw, He is enticed and onward led T o marry Angela, and yet Is thinking ever of Margaret.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
