The second edition of the work is also included in Volume 41 of the Harvard Classics series. (No illustrations.)

To see how things change in both wording and in order, here is verse XII of the second edition:

Here with a little Bread beneath the Bough,
A Flask of Wine, a Book of Verse—and Thou
Beside me singing in the Wilderness—
Oh, Wilderness were Paradise enow!
