This poem is widely available on the Web and off, since of course it is long out of
copyright. Here's one of the more attractive web links:

No one could reasonably describe it as bawdy, however. Melodramatic, maybe, but
not bawdy. So, as Richard has said in a part of his post I didn't quote, there may be
another poem of that name, though I've never heard of one.
