The body of the posting notes “The text for this poem is no longer available”, meaning that the licensing for the text has expired. This happens occasionally.

(Also, note that if you click on the “ORIGINAL TEXT AND AUDIO” link you are taken to the page containing the audio as it was broadcast. While the text is not available here either, you can hear the audio of it being read.)
