1801-2.
FOOTNOTES:
[386:2] First published in the Morning Post, October 19, 1802. First collected in Poems, 1852. A note (p. 384), was affixed:—'This little poem first appeared in the Morning Post in 1802, but was doubtless composed in Germany. It seems to have been forgotten by its author, for this was the only occasion on which it saw the light through him. The Editors think that it will plead against parental neglect in the mind of most readers.' Internal evidence seems to point to 1801 or 1802 as the most probable date of composition.
