Notes:
This poem was attributed to Poe by Thomas Ollive Mabbott in 1939,
and again in 1969. The original manuscript supposedly hung on the wall
of the Washington Tavern in Lowell, Massachusetts for many years. It
was
apparently last seen around 1892. It was recalled from memory by a
former
bartender there about 1939. Although of questionable origin, the
attribution
has some merit and has not been seriously opposed.
[Alternate versions of some lines of the poem might have read as
follows:]
Filled with mingled cream and amber,
I will fill that glass again
[....]
Faintest thoughts — queerest fancies
[....]
