Michael Robartes and the Dancer

Irish, and the census claim of Cuala Press precedence is correct: Churchtown, Dundrum is the true and only first edition; there is no competing London or New York edition of this title, and the poems were subsequently absorbed into Macmillan's collected editions, which are first thus. CORRECTION to the census contents note: this is the first book appearance of "The Second Coming" (first printed in The Dial, November 1920) and of "A Prayer for My Daughter", but it is NOT the first printing of "Easter, 1916" — that poem was privately printed as a separate pamphlet by Clement Shorter in an edition of 25 copies (sources differ between late 1916 and early 1917) and then appeared in The New Statesman on 23 October 1920, both preceding the Cuala volume. Michael Robartes and the Dancer is the first appearance of "Easter, 1916" in a Yeats collection, and the 1916/17 Shorter text differs from the 1920/21 text.
