Introduction
The poem is by John Lucas Tupper, whose verse WMR admired greatly—far more than his critical prose. This work's attention to an unmoralized natural detail marks its Pre-Raphaelite character.
WMR edited a collection on Tupper's poems after his death (Poems of the Late John Lucas Tupper (1897). He omitted this poem because it had already been published.
