Content:
A scrap of poetry with lines that contributed both to the poem ultimately titled "Thoughts [Of these years I sing...]" and to "Apostroph," the opening section of "Chants Democratic and Native American." Both poems first appeared in the 1860–1861 edition of
Leaves of Grass
. The reverse (duk.00131) contains prose about America's need for "her own poems."
