MANUSCRIPTS: There are two, both written about 1860. That reproduced above (Bingham) was sent to Samuel Bowles, and is signed "Emily." It is a variant (in lines 4 and 6) of the copy in packet 14 (H 72b), where it is titled by ED "Pine Bough."

A feather from the Whippowil
That everlasting sings -
Whose Galleries are Sunrise -
Whose Stanzas, are the Springs -

Whose Emerald Nest - the Ages spin -
With mellow - murmuring Thread -
Whose Beryl Egg, what School-Boys hunt -
In "Recess," Overhead!
