Notes:
This fragment was first attributed to Poe by James H. Whitty, who
published
it in the second edition of his The Complete Poems of Edgar Allan
Poe,
Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company, 1917. There is no surviving
manuscript,
nor any version printed during Poe's lifetime. Instead, it was recalled
about 1915 by Harriet Virginia Scott, a former schoolgirl from
Richmond,
VA (later Mrs. Thomson, of Austin, TX). She thought the original
contained four or five stanzas, of
which
she was, regrettably, only able to remember this one.
