A tale of Elsinore : A new poem /
McGonagall, William.
[Edinburgh : s.n.,
1901?]
In two columns with a coat of arms above the title.
In verse.
'Composed, June 1901'.
At the top of 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 King, the other from Lord Wolseley.
First lines read: A little child stood thinking, sorrowfully and ill at ease, / In a forest beneath the branches of the tall pine trees - / And his big brown eyes with tears seemed dim, / While one soft arm rested on a huge dog close by him.
