Evening Star

The poem was written at the request of a Miss Pinkham in 1873. According to
his letter to Miss Pinkham, the poem as published was actually two
different versions of the poem that were published together as one.
Longfellow writes in his letter "I send you the sonnet in two forms. Please
use the one you find best". Then he proceeds to write the sonnets. What you
see published is both as one.
