Content:
This manuscript features a list of terms, many of which are found in "Broad-Axe Poem," first published in the 1856 edition of
Leaves of Grass
and later titled "Song of the Broad-Axe." It is likely, therefore, that the list was written before or early in 1856. The reverse side (loc.00507) contains a draft of lines related to the poem eventually titled "Song of Myself."
