"Sylvia wrote it before she began to think about the boys." "It must be a very early poem." "It is; and this is the only copy; please don't lose it." "Then I think you ought to take it back at once. It was extant at the time over the signature of another writer, whose authorship is not known to have been questioned. Miss Sylvia perhaps copied it out of admiration, or as a model for her own use.

Other extant verses of the period of his residence at Woodbridge show that he was making experiments in stanza-form on the model of earlier English poets, though without showing more than a certain imitative skill.
