This manuscript is a draft of the poem, "You Tides With Ceaseless
Swell."
Writing on the verso (which is made up
of fragments of several letters, dated between 1871–1884) indicates that the manuscript was
probably created sometime in or after 1884. "You Tides With Ceaseless Swell" is one of
eight poems in the "Fancies at
Navesink" sequence, which first appeared in print in the
August 1885 issue of
Nineteenth Century
.
