Type Poem

First published in The Collected Letters of Robert E. Howard Volume 1: 1923-1929, REH Foundation Press, where it appears in a Howard letter to Tevis Clyde Smith, ca. April 1929 ("Salaam: / The iron harp that Adam christened Life...").
The last verse of this poem is titled "Envoi"; it is clearly not a separate poem, but part of "To the Contented".
