Content:
A draft of a poem unpublished in Whitman's lifetime but existing in various
draft states, including one with the same title in the T. E. Hanley
Collection at the University of Texas and another,
titled "Hands Ro[und],"
in the Trent Collection at Duke University. The precise
date of composition is unknown, but Whitman very possibly wrote this piece
for the Centennial Celebration of 1876, as the date of the letter on the reverse ("Feb 11/76")
suggests.
