viously printed in The Dial, or omitted, by the fastidiousness of Emerson, from The Winter's Walk; or by Thoreau himself from The Week, or from Walden. These, with the prose passages with which they were originally connected, are given in this Appendix. A number of the poems were written on paged sheets, with other memoranda, showing that they were originally written in some Journal from which they were torn out and preserved from destruction,—most of the early Journals having perished. Others were written on separate sheets, but for some reason were never printed. Facsimiles of four of the manuscript poems are inserted in this volume.
The earlier MS. gives the following wording of the poem entitled Morning printed on page xiv of this volume:—
Heathen without reproach,
Who dost upon the civil day encroach,—
Who, ever since thy birth,
Has trod the outskirts of the earth:—
The coward's hope, the brave man's way
And distant promise of a day,—
While the late-risen world goes west,
You daily bend my steps to east.
[122]
