Notes
Keats is probably not the author of "See, the ship in the bay is riding." Another manuscript copy of the poem (MA 215.85) is accompanied by a note in Woodhouse's hand reading "This piece K. said had not been written by him. He did not see it: but I repeated the first 4 lines to him." Mabel A.E. Steele and Jack Stillinger agree that the attribution to Keats is questionable. See Garrod (p. lxxii-lxxiii) and Stillinger (1978, p. 753).
Part of a large collection, assembled by Richard Woodhouse, of letters and manuscripts relating to the English poet John Keats. Items in the collection have been described in individual catalog records; see collection-level record for MA 215 for more information.
Previous cataloging indicates that "O come, dearest Emma! the rose is full blown" was composed ca. 1814.
Stillinger (1978, p. 545) dates Keats's composition of "O come, dearest Emma! the rose is full blown" to "probably in 1815."

Provenance
Part of a collection assembled by Richard Woodhouse; by descent in 1834 to the publisher John Taylor; by descent in 1864 to his relatives, descending finally to his niece by marriage, Mrs. George Taylor of Bakewell, Derbyshire; purchased by Pierpont Morgan from the London dealer Frank T. Sabin in 1906.
