Content:
On one leaf of white wove paper (15 x 9.5 cm), in light brown ink, with one
revision in the same ink. Pinholes at top and in center. A blue pencil mark,
possibly the number 4, has been inscribed in the upper right corner. Bowers notes
that the page bears the imprint of a papermaker's lozenge die, perhaps that of
Platner and Smith of Lee, Massachusetts. This poem became section 39 of "Calamus" in 1860; in 1867 Whitman
replaced the third line with a new one and permanently retitled the poem "Sometimes with One I Love."
