EDITOR'S NOTE.

The poet, now back from this ultimate dim Thule, tells how he reached Dream Land. He describes it with fantastic unclearness and extravagance. In this land the traveller meets sheeted memories. It is a peaceful region for men of woe, but it is seen through darkened glasses.

Is this dream land the Valley of the Shadow of Death?

EDITOR'S NOTE.

This poem is presumably addressed to Mrs. Osgood, but who was the Mary of 1835 (Eliza White ?) and the One Departed of 1842? See the following poem.

EDITOR'S NOTE.

This eight-line stanza was originally written in honor of Eliza White, while the version in Burton's was dedicated to some unknown blank. It does duty a third time as one of the numerous tributes to Mrs. Osgood.
