Content:
The poem was first published in the November 1880 issue of
Cope's Tobacco Plant
and became one
of the new poems in the 1881 edition of
Leaves of Grass
, where it appeared in the cluster "By the Roadside." At some point
this leaf was pasted to a cardboard print of a photograph of Whitman stamped
"Thomas C. Watkins" on the verso, but almost identical to one attributed by Henry
Scholey Saunders, author of
100 Walt
Whitman Photographs
, to the studio of Frederick Gutekunst in
Philadelphia, and reproduced in the 1889 pocket edition of
Leaves of Grass
.
