SlightlyMad, I think you are right on with the comparison to Poe.
It also have some charactaristcs from mideval ballads with expressions like "lily white hand", and the rythm of the lyrics with the same lines at the end of every verse instead of the usual verse-chorus-verse-chorus...or however the modern pop song go.
A wonderful song. The meaning is very straight forward though. Not much room for interpretation there, hehe
