The edition of 1845 returns to the text of 1815.
[Written in very Early Youth]
Composed 1786[A].—Published 1807[B]
From 1807 to 1843 this was placed by Wordsworth in his group of "Miscellaneous Sonnets." In 1845, it was transferred to the class of "Poems written in Youth." It is doubtful if it was really written in "'very' early youth." Its final form, at any rate, may belong to a later period.—Ed.
