AuthorRosenberg, Isaac (1890-1918)
TitleReturning, we hear the larks
NotesDraft in pencil, with pencil alterations. In line 13 Isaac Rosenberg has extended the tail of the 'n' in 'man's', so that the line becomes 'Like a blind man dreams on the sand.' He has clearly highlighted stanza divisions by drawing lines of pencil dots.
