Alternate title: AN ECHO FROM THE IRON HARP
An original typescript titled "An Echo from the Iron Harp" exists. It was included in the proposed poetry collection IMAGES OUT OF THE SKY by REH, Tevis Clyde Smith, and Lenore Preece, titled "An Echo from the Iron Harp."

The original typescript page has this and just a couple lines below a quatrain Glenn Lord titled "Roads."
In fact it appears that that last quatrain was meant to be part of the same poem, perhaps to be inserted between quatrains 3 and 4 of the original version.
