Dated by Ruskin “21 march” (no year given). According to the annotation in MS I by Margaret Ruskin (see MS I: Date , and “The Needless Alarm”: Date), this Red Book was completed around January 1827. Since she inserted her annotation amid the MS I poetry anthology near the end of the manuscript, it is possible that pieces appearing in the remaining space following her annotation—the two poems “On Papa’s Leaving Home” and “On the Rainbow: In Blank Verse,” and this drawing on the inside back endboard—were composed after January 1827. A date of 21 March 1827 thus fits well with the evidence.
