It is a touching poem, a little reminiscent of Tennyson's 'Break, break, break': "O for the touch of a vanished hand/And O for the sound of a voice that is still'. I know I have in the past thought exactly that-- photos and videos quite unnecessary, yet later...well, as you say.
I personally thought the comments about this or that being archaic, were archaic. I think if one is going to use words, one should allow oneself as many as possible, and similarly with grammar and syntax. I might say more, but as this is my first comment, I shan't.
