An Autumn reverie : A new poem /
McGonagall, William.
[Edinburgh : s.n.,
ca. 1900]
In two columns with a coat of arms above the title.
In verse.
Dated from the address given on the sheet - McGonagall was still living in Dundee as late as 1894.
At the top of the sheet in McGonagall's hand - 'Sir Wm. Topaz McGonagall. Poet'.
First lines read: Alas! beautiful summer now hath fled, / And the face of Nature doth seem dead, / And the leaves are withered, and falling off the trees, / By the nipping and chilling autumnal breeze.
