“PUBLICATION: ‘Atlantic Monthly,’ 143 (February 1929), 186, and FP (‘Further Poems’) (1929), 189, with stanza 3 omitted and the rest as three stanzas of 6, 4, and 4 lines; in later collections, as three quatrains. The entire poem, arranged as three quatrains and a final couplet, was published in Bingham, New England Quarterly, 20 (March 1947), 36, from a transcript of A (Amherst College).”
I added the comment, “I’ll explore today and see if I can find any of those adaptations.”
Fast forward to today. I looked into this, and the altered poems as mentioned by Franklin are below.
First, in the February 1929 edition of the Atlantic Monthly, the poem was, indeed, published without the third stanza.
I’ve included the first page of Bingham’s article with the poem in the pic below.
