The general title, "Old Age
Echoes," appears at the top of the page. Beneath that title are two
poems with individual titles: "Sounds
of the Winter" and "The
Unexpress'd." Pasted to the leaf below the second poem is a woodcut
engraving of Whitman along with his autograph. The untitled lines directly
following the picture and autograph eventually become the poem titled "After the Argument." The three
poems were first published together in
Lippincott's Magazine,
March
1891, under the general title "Old Age Echoes."
