TENNYSONIANA.

"Amphion." The first four lines of the fifth stanza originally ran thus:

"The birch-tree swang her fragrant hair,
The bramble cast her berry,
The gin within the juniper
Began to make him merry."
1842–1853.


In the last stanza but one:

"Half-conscious of the garden-squirt,
The poor things look unhappy."
1842–1850.

"St. Agnes' Eve." This poem, as we have seen, was printed in "The Keepsake" for 1837, pp. 247, 248. It was slightly altered on its reappearance in 1842. The title was changed from "St. Agnes" to "St. Agnes' Eve," in the edition of 1855.

Sir Galahad. Unaltered.
Edward Gray.

"Will Waterproofs Lyrical Monologue":

1842–51.
"Like Hezekiah's backward runs
The shadow of my days."
