The original holograph of this text was destroyed by Frances and/or Louise Norcross. This text reproduces the transcript of the poem made by Frances (Fanny) Norcross for Mabel Loomis Todd. For a rough-copy draft of this poem, see A 462 (about 1873 [THJ, RWF]); for a related fragment, see A 463 (about 1873 [THJ, RWF]).
The transcript of this poem appears in Letters (1894), incorporated in a letter to the Norcrosses. In Poems (1998), however, R. W. Franklin notes that the poem and the letter to the Norcrosses were probably discrete documents, combined by Todd during her editing of Letters (1894). The editorial notations penciled on the document are Mabel Loomis Todd's.
