Also known as "Do not stand by my grave and weep," the poem was first published in the Winter/December 1934 issue of The Gypsy, and was credited there to "Clare Harner" of "Topeka, Kansas." The paper offers additional biographical details with examples of other poems by Harner. Also includes a critical review of popular but always unverifiable attributions to Mary E. Frye.

The ultimate derivation from the fifth act of Shakespeare’s Othello is definite (not “probable,” as Evans overcautiously reports) and was well known to Melville’s contemporaries, doubtlessly including his literate and well-educated wife, Elizabeth Shaw Melville.4

Winslow III, conducted mostly in microfilms of nineteenth-century newspapers and periodicals, has again yielded a valuable miscellany of previously unrecorded Melville reviews, notices, and mentions. Herein are collected seventy-eight new items from 1846 to 1899, discovered by Winslow, along with a handful of items found through internet resources. This compilation supplements the dozens of new "Melville Reviews and Notices" that he and Mark Wojnar documented in Melville Society Extracts 124 (February 2003). Like the published discoveries of Winslow and others (accessible in the online archives of Extracts on the Melville Society
