If published in 2002, the poem is not in public domain. Full text cannot be included, and poem is not notable. — Goodtimber ( walk/ talk) 05:23, 9 December 2016 (UTC)
- I've removed the text of the poem, as it did not appear in the article until a year and a half after the page was created on Wikipedia. -- Metropolitan90 (talk) 05:54, 9 December 2016 (UTC)
- It's more of an aside, but I've found mention of the poem in this book from 2001, so it seems like the poem was probably released prior to 2002 and has just been republished in various places, as works by notable figures tend to be. Of course its publication status doesn't really mean much about the work's notability status though - although the book I linked does discuss the poem in depth.

- Comment, this may be one of Lewis' minor works, as although it 1st appeared in 1938, it doesn't seem to have been republished until 1964 in Poems (please correct me on this:)), is it covered by WP:NBOOK 5.The book's author is so historically significant that any of the author's written works may be considered notable.? it would be great if there was an article called Poetry of C. S. Lewis, so it could be covered there, then broken out, although with the considerable work done by Tokyogirl79 it looks just about a keeper. Coolabahapple ( talk) 07:02, 12 December 2016 (UTC)

- Keep, I agree with Coolabahapple that Tokyogirl79 has brought this up to GNG standard (nice work!). It would indeed be good to have an article just on C.S. Lewis's poetry - I enjoyed his Collected Poems, and while he's no Wordsworth he's certainly of interest as a minor poet. Maybe I'll have a go one day.

- Keep - I agree with Chiswick Chap that the that the addition of more sources has brought this article to the standard of meeting GNG. Pauciloquence ( talk) 08:48, 23 December 2016 (UTC)
