Lightly revised draft of a poem titled "Sounds of the winter too."
Under the title "Sounds of the
Winter," the poem was one of four belonging to the "Old Age Echoes"
cluster, first published in
Lippincott's Magazine
47 (March 1891) and then
reprinted in
Good-bye My
Fancy
(1891). The writing on the verso (not in Whitman's hand)
makes reference to
Good-Bye
My Fancy
and to "Sounds of Winter," as well as to a
"Putnam 1902
Edition." There is also a postmark dated 18 October 1889.
