Hart suggests that it "may have been the very first thing he printed at Davos". The Beinecke copy belonged to Maggie Stevenson and is dated to 1880 on the basis of a letter from Fanny to Maggie Stevenson.<br/>Describing the fallen soldiers the poem playfully invokes a somber tone but turns its focus to the boy in its closing lines.
