I'm glad there's interest in this question. I continue to think the poem is plenty interesting, though not unassailable. My point is that I wouldn't assail it merely for its inversions, or even its adjective-heavy choices, because all of it is consistent with the rest.
Editing back: I can't seem to create a link that works, but if you search "The poems of Dylan Thomas, Volume 1" you'll find the book. It's a 2003 publication. You may get there faster if you add "google books."
I'm looking for, and not finding, any way to date the poem. I'd like to do that because I also suspect it's early. But then, Thomas's early poems were the ones that caught Eliot's interest, as I understand it.
