This fair-copy poem-draft, composed around 1882 (RWF) or 1884 (THJ), was found among Dickinson's papers after her death. After copying the poem, Dickinson marked the first two lines for transposition. For a variant rough-copy draft of this poem, see A 332; for related fragments, see A 636a. Dickinson may have jotted down the fragments on the envelope while working on the rough-copy draft of the poem.
