The Alfred Williams site (poems t) indicates a poem called The Reaper's Song published in two versions of 60 lines in Songs In Wiltshire, then 32 lines in Selected Poetry.

I can't find the poem online, but if you search google books for the tufted lark, it returns only The Selected Poems of Alfred Williams, but no preview is available, so I can't even confirm the title as above. It does at least suggest that an Alfred Williams poem may have been the original.

If anyone has either of the two books, they may be able to confirm it.
