Unusual and scarce typed poem, one page, 6.5 x 3, a typed fair copy of his poem, ‘Her First Freckle.’ Poem begins:

“She is sweet as the perfume that fills the air,
When the roses begin to bloom;
But her soul is steeped in a deep despair,
And her manner but lately so debonair
Has changed to a settled gloom.
Can the birds that are merrily singing aloft,
Or the lambs that are nibbling the grass in the
croft”

Signed at the conclusion by Sousa. Matted and framed to an overall size of 10.25 x 7. In very good condition, with light intersecting folds and uniform toning.
