You may not have seen my reply to the same point you made earlier. My reply was:
"I agree with this, as it merely states the fact that the techniques of page poetry could be “suppressed” when sung, but does that matter overmuch, and as such, does it demonstrate that a poem is different form a song? I think not. It merely says that poems sound different when sung. It has no bearing on how the poem/song is semantically received."

Still, see my last reply to you. Rather than get bogged down in nomenclature, categories etc. which is a boring argument, it might be useful to look at how singing suppresses or disfavours certain essential elements of a poem - though there'll be a disagreement about what is essential
