Philip: I haven't analysed the poem myself, but off hand I find a pattern of two-beat lines alternating with three-beat lines. I hadn't thought of it as syllabics, but maybe it is.
What do you think of this enjambment; isn't it right up your alley?
She is not here, but there
She might have been.
The main question is: who is "she"? At the start of the poem, I got the feeling it could be a poet's muse, and later it looked like it could be an ideal, but neither seems to fit the poem overall.
