Here is another piece by the British composer (Alfred) Frederic Mullen (1868-1936). Jean  Morel was one of the pseudonyms he used: others were Gustave Lind and Pierre Lescaut. The suites of piano pieces by this 'group' of composers were very popular in the early years of the last century.   Mullen liked to preface his pieces by literary quotations, sometimes unattributed.   This piece is prefaced by part of Wulfram's Dirge from the play 'Death's Jest-Book' by the English poet Thomas Lovell Beddoes (1803-49).

"And there alone, amid the beaming
Of Love’s stars, thou’lt meet her
In eastern sky."
