Notes and attribution research

Poem included in the prose contribution At the Sign of the Ship by Andrew Lang (658-65). Poet attribution: probably by Robert Louis Stevenson. Lang and Stevenson were friends, and Lang strongly implies Stevenson is the poet in his introduction to the poem, as one contributor points out in The Critic (New York), vol. 5, no. 121, 24 April 1886, p. 209.
