Content:
Nine draft lines, uncorrected, of section 8 of "The Mystic Trumpeter,"
a poem first published in
The Kansas Magazine
in February 1872. It was reprinted in
As a Strong Bird on Pinions Free
(1872),
Two Rivulets
(1876), and subsequent editions of
Leaves of Grass.
On the verso, someone—perhaps a collector or archivist—jotted a note about "From Noon to Starry Night" and "The Mystic Trumpeter."
