The poem has been widely published; always attributed to anonomous or unknown. We are compiling a list of publications of where it has appeared in an attempt to find the original publication.
While compiling this list we were amazed at how inconsitent the ISBN databases are, but we've tried our best. It has to be said that without projects like "The Google Books Library Project" this task would have been almost impossible. So thank you to all those people involved in book digitization projects.
