Looks like an interesting discussion is brewing that I want to go back and read, but I want to just follow up on this first:

Thanks for reminding me of it, I'd forgotten how beautiful the story was...

I've read it through, and I'm not sure. I don't think so. I really need to pull that old volume back out of the local college library and see if I can find it again in that book. You see, the poem from which I read was a much shorter passage than the one you link to, which I quite enjoyed reading! There are certainly similarities. I wish I could say with more certainty, but it doesn't seem quite the same.
