In Fuller’s words
“There is a little poem in the Schnellpost, by Mority Hartmann, called the "Three," ? which would be a forcible appeal, if any were needed, in behalf of all who are exiled from their native soil. We translate it into prose, and this will not spoil it, as its poetry lies in the situation.”

“The poem of which we here give a prose translation lately appeared in Germany. It is written by Moritz Hartmann”
Inferred Fuller explicitly names Moritz Hartmann (1821–1872), providing a full prose translation of his German poem about the potato blight as a parable of social neglect. Hartmann was a Bohemian-Austrian revolutionary poet whose major 1845 collection was Kelch und Schwert. The specific German title of this poem, however, could not be verified.
