ABSTRACT
First publ. DP, 28 May 1864; repr. DP2, 1868, 1880, 1888. Our text is 1864. The MS, part of the printer’s copy for DP, is at Morgan. It is a very clean copy, with few instances of re-drafting; line 47 of the published poem is missing, but this was probably a transcription error, since otherwise line 50 would be unrhymed. There are few other verbal variants between MS and 1864, and none in subsequent editions.
