In 1842 appeared the two volumes which contained, in addition to the selections made from the two former volumes, several new poems:— “Poems by Alfred Tennyson. In two volumes. London: Edward Moxon, MDCCCXLII.” The first volume is divided into two parts: Selections from the poems published in 1830, _Claribel_ to the _Sonnet to J. M. K._ inclusive. Selections from the poems of 1832, _The Lady of Shalott_ to _The Goose_ inclusive. The second volume contains poems then, with two exceptions, first published. The Epic. Morte d’Arthur. The Gardener’s Daughter. Dora. Audley Court. Walking to the Mail. St. Simeon Stylites. Conclusion to the May Queen. The Talking Oak. Lady Clara Vere de Vere. Love and Duty. Ulysses. Locksley Hall. Godiva. The Two Voices. The Day Dream. Prologue. The Sleeping Palace. The Sleeping Beauty. The Arrival. The Revival. The Departure. Moral. L’Envoi. Epilogue. Amphion. St. Agnes. Sir Galahad. Edward Gray. Will Waterproofs Lyrical Monologue, made at the Cock. Lady Clare. The Lord of Burleigh. Sir Launcelot and Queen Guinevere. A Farewell. The Beggar Maid. The Vision of Sin. The Skipping Rope. “Move Eastward, happy Earth.” “Break, break, break.” The Poet’s Song. Only two of these poems had been published before, namely, _St. Agnes_, which was printed in _The Keepsake_ for 1837, and _The Sleeping Beauty_ in _The Day Dream_, which was adopted with some alterations from the 1830 poem, and only one of these poems was afterwards suppressed, _The Skipping Rope_, which was, however, allowed to stand till 1851. In 1843 appeared the second edition of these poems, which is merely a reprint with a few unimportant alterations, and which was followed in 1845 and in 1846 by a third and fourth edition equally unimportant in their variants, but in the fourth _The Golden Year_ was added. In the next edition, the fifth, 1848, _The Deserted House_ was included from the poems of 1830. In the sixth edition, 1850, was included another poem, _To— , after reading a Life and Letters_, reprinted, with some alterations, from the _Examiner_ of 24th March, 1849. The seventh edition, 1851, contained important additions. First the Dedication to the Queen, then _Edwin Morris_, the fragment of _The Eagle_, and the stanzas, “Come not when I am dead,” first printed in _The Keepsake_ for 1851, under the title of _Stanzas_. In this edition the absurd trifle _The Skipping Rope_ was excised and finally cancelled. In the eighth edition, 1853, _The Sea-Fairies,_ though greatly altered, was included from the poems of 1830, and the poem _To E. L. on his Travels in Greece_ was added. This edition, the eighth, may be regarded as the final one. Nothing afterwards of much importance was added or subtracted, and comparatively few alterations were made in the text from that date to the last collected edition in 1898.
