Michael Philip Bessant, 'Sounds -- Far and Near' (?1963)

I bought an old, much-marginalia'd copy of Yevtushenko's Selected Poems in the Penguin Modern European Poets series (this 1963 edition, in fact). When I got it home and opened it, a sheet of A5 typing copy paper fell out with the above poem carefully typed. I assume it dates to the 1960s, from roundabout the publication of the book. If Michael Philip Bessant reads this and wants his poem back (or wants me to take this post down, or both) I'll gladly oblige. Don't mean to infringe copyright. But it's a nice poem.
