“Cologne”
“On which we stood triumphant now” (MS IX; Poems [1891]; Works [1903])—Collingwood comments that, following “On which we stood triumphant now”, “two lines . . . are completely erased in the MS.”, referring to the fair copy in MS IX (Poems [4o, 1891], 1:127n.; Poems [8o, 1891], 1:127n.). In the gap between what we represent as a first and second stanza, the trace of a couplet is barely visible. No rough draft of the poem is extant to show what these lines might have been, if not a duplication.
