I wouldn't normally do this people. In fact, I don't think I have ever instructed students to use solely online sources before. However, you all voted pretty unanimously that you wanted me to blog the notes for this poem, and I am not going to be able to present them in a better format than these people already have.
Having spoken to Mr Clarke today, we discussed how the example answers seem to have either discussed 2-3 poems per poet in medium detail, or just one of the longer poems (eg, Fra Lippo Lippi or The Pied Piper) in great detail. Because of this, you could argue that you only need to have a certain understanding of this poem. Provided you know what this poem is about, and you're able to mention the strucutre of it, as well as about 15-20 specific references to language, then you'll be fine.
I'm providing you with two sources to annotate the poem. I've searched hard for the best ones.
Firstly, use these sources to gain an overview of the entire poem so you know what it is about...
Main Overview
Overview 2
Secondly, use this annotated version of the poem to copy up specific notes.

Good luck peeps,
