"Stay, ruby-breasted warbler, stay" here titled "Song -- Tune, Julia to the wood robin."
Keats is probably not the author of "See, the ship in the bay is riding." This manuscript copy of the poem is accompanied by a note in Woodhouse's hand reading "This piece K. said had not been written by him. He did not see it: but I repeated the first 4 lines to him." Mabel A.E. Steele and Jack Stillinger agree that the attribution to Keats is questionable. See Garrod (p. lxxii-lxxiii) and Stillinger (1978, p. 753).
Originally fols. 1-3 in Woodhouse's compilation of transcripts of John Keats's unpublished poetry, which is now at Harvard and generally cited as W².

Stillinger (1978, p. 541, 545) dates Keats's composition of "Stay, ruby-breasted warbler, stay" to "probably in 1814" and "O come, dearest Emma! the rose is full blown" to "probably in 1815."
