ABSTRACT
Written in ink in Nbk 10, where it is skipped by the draft for 'People of England, ye who toil and groan'. That poem is a product of S. s' reaction to the news of the Peterloo Massacre, which reached him in early September and these lines are therefore presumably earlier than that, and are perhaps connected with S. s' feelings for Mary after the death of William. The idea in these lines of identity characterised as an enwrapping atmosphere occurs in various contexts in S. s' poetry. There is a warm and gentle atmosphere. About the form of one we love, and thus as in a tender mist our spirits are Wrapped in the of that which is to us. The breath of life's own life, without which Weis as a tomb vacant and ours.
