Notes:
T. O. Mabbott assigns this poem to Poe with confidence.
It appears at the end of issue of the Broadway Journal, under a
section with the heading "Miscellany."
Kate Carol was a pseudonym used by Frances S. Osgood. Over that
name,
her poem "The Rivalet's Dream" was published in the Broadway Journal
for
April 5, 1845. The same poem is included in the collection of Mrs.
Osgood's
poems published in 1849, though there it appears under a different
title.
Frances S. Osgood copied Poe's little poetic response and gave it
to
Elizabeth Oakes Smith, giving it the title "To the Sinless Child." This
copy is now preserved in the library of the University of Virginia.
