These are the lyrics to the song in the video. Not the poem above, although I like it just as much:

“Never had much to say

He traveled alone with no friends

Like a shadowy ghost

At dawn he came and he went

The child of a man

Who had soon gone away

Like a shadowy ghost

At dawn he came and he went

So the story is told

Of his true love 'cross the line

As strong as the oak

And as sweet as the vine”
