I love that someone else does that! This and a few other favourite poems of mine I know off by heart. Which actually led to this incredibly satisfying moment the other day - my awesome but ancient seminar leader was complaining about how we don't learn poems off by heart any more, and I recited the whole of Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? for the sheer LOLs.
It does feel like a protection spell, yes. I recited it to myself, wrote the post, and then felt SO MUCH better.
