Right-hand opening carries the sixteen-line poem, in four four-line stanzas, the first of which reads: 'I went to the window, where the morning was, | And saw innocence scattered on the grass. | On blade and bough it lay, on wall and gable, | Fresh with the freshness of old fable.'

The poem was subsequently published in “Poems in Pencil”. From the Lynd Family Papers.
