Notes

  • Editor's note: Original poetry
  • Author's note: (Presented by herself): I sincerely wish, when I am to die, that I may meet with some kind-hearted person, who will convey me, in a boat, on a smooth water, outside the Heads; so that, as the boat moves smartly along, I may glide into eternity with some solemn music, as an attendant on my dying hours.
  • At foot of poem: Sydney, May 12, 1829
  • 'Imagines a drift through the Heads to death.' - Webby
