Content:
This is a partial, late draft, with minor revisions, of "Bardic Symbols," first
published in the April
1860 issue of the
Atlantic Monthly.
The poem was later revised and published
under the title "As I Ebb'd
with the Ocean of Life." Two of the manuscript leaves are stored
with a letter to the editor, James Russell Lowell, dated October 2,
1861; the other leaf is stored separately.
