Content:
A heavily revised draft of "A Happy Hour's Command,"
Specimen Days & Collect
(1882–1883), which later appeared in
Complete Prose Works
(1892). The verso of this manuscript contains two cancelled lines: "In highest Noon I sing & Starry Night" and "with other Pieces & Specimen Days." Though "From Noon to Starry Night" is an 1881 cluster in
Leaves of Grass
, there is no other connection between this manuscript and Whitman's published work.
