Little Popeet: The lost child : A new poem /
McGonagall, William.
[Edinburgh : s.n.,
1900?]
In two columns with a coat of arms above the title.
In verse.
'Composed, November 1900'.
Accross the sheet in McGonagall's hand - 'Sir Wm. Topaz McGonagall. Poet'.
Printed beneath the title are two letters of acknowledgement for receipt of poems from McGonagall, one from Francis Knollys on behalf of the Prince of Wales, the other on behalf of the Queen.
First lines read: Near by the silent waters of the Mediterranean, / And at the door of an old hut stood a coloured man, / Whose dress was oriental in style and poor with wear, / While adown his furrowed cheeks ran many a tear.
