Content: A draft of lines that would appear, in a revised form, first in "As A Strong Bird on Pinions Free" in 1872, and later under the title "Thou Mother With Thy Equal Brood." The leaf consists of two clipped scraps pasted together, and the upper part of the leaf is pasted to a yellow backing sheet that bears writing and sketches in the hand of Horace Traubel. Our images show the front of the leaf, that part of the back visible by lifting the lower part of the leaf, and the reverse side of the backing sheet.
