Explore "A Servian Legend" by Ella Wheeler Wilcox on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Long, long ago, ere yet our race began, / When earth was empty, waiting still for man, / Before the breath of life to him was given / The angels fell into a strife in heaven.
At length one furious demon grasped the sun / And sped away as fast as he could run, / And with a ringing laugh of fiendish mirth, / He leaped the battlements and fell to earth.
