Typescript in red and black ink, with red ink punctuation corrections added 'conjecturally by M. M. S. (Marion Scott) as probably being what the poet intended.' Possibly amongst those poems submitted to and rejected by the firm Sidgwick and Jackson in 1922. Multiple versions of the poem survive. This version substitutes 'Jack London' for 'Quebec, Stewart White' in line 16, and is close to the draft included in P.J. Kavanagh's 'Ivor Gurney: Collected Poems' (2004).

本稿件为红黑墨水誊写的打字稿，其中红色墨水标注的标点修正推测由M. M. S.（马里昂·斯科特，Marion Scott）完成，该修正大概率贴合诗人的原始创作意图。该诗作大概率属于1922年提交给西德威克与杰克逊出版公司（Sidgwick and Jackson）并遭退稿的作品之列，目前现存多个传世版本。本版本将第16行中的"Quebec, Stewart White"替换为"Jack London"，其内容与P.J.卡瓦纳（P.J. Kavanagh）编纂的《艾弗·格尼：诗集全集》（Ivor Gurney: Collected Poems，2004）中收录的手稿版本高度相近。
