I found a copy of what purports to be the complete poem at http://www.homestead.com/kathyspoetrywaltz/ShortPoems.html, which is only what is on the gravestone. I checked for books of poetry by Richardson during Twain's era, and found only "The Muse/The Muse's flight," a bound-together volume that is only owned by one library in America.

Alan Gribben in _Mark Twain's Library: A Reconstruction_ gives the official title as "Requiem" alternately titled "To Annette." Our reference librarian has been unable to locate a source for the complete text of the poem in _Granger's Index of Poetry_ or other various reference sources. Are there any recommended sources where the complete text of the original poem can be found? Or... The name of the book in which Twain originally found the poem? Thanks, Barb
