Thanks for the album title, Matthew. I think I knew it at the time, but when I went to Gary and Vera's website I couldn't find anything familiar there. With the author's name, I should be able to track the poem down now.

Thanks to Ray and Malcolm for your suggestions, also. I knew I might get satisfaction by contacting Gary and Vera, but I'm diffident about inflicting my curiosity on performers. Any performers here want to comment on how bothersome lyrics requests from strangers can be?
