Intertextuality?

Intertextuality, literary reference, hint, plagiarism, influence? Call it as you like but I found another of one thousand references that the romanticism has not died (local joke). It is a very rare and strange analogy but I have found and not other thing but a curious fact:

"Strange fits of passion have I known"
(Line 9)
Upon the moon I fixed my eye,
All over the wide lea;
With qu ickening pace my horse drew nigh
Those paths so dear to me.

And now we reached the orchard-plot;
And, as we climbed the hill,
The sinking moon to Lucy's cot
Came near, and nearer still.

In one of those sweet dreams I slept,
Kind nature's gentlest boon!
And all the while my eyes I kept
On the descending moon.

My horse moved on: hoof after hoof
He raised, and never stopped:
When down behind the cottage roof,
At once, the bright dropped.

What fond and wayward thoughts will slide
Into a Lover's head!
"O mercy!" to myself I cried
"If Lucy should be dead!"

"That was Frisco; and beautiful women standing in white doorways, waiting for theirmen; and Coit Tower, and the embarcadero, and Market Street, and the elven teeming hills.
I spun around till I was dizzy; I thought I'd fall down as in a dream, clear of the precipice. Oh were is the girl I love? I thought and looked everywhere, as I had looked everywhere in the little world below."(78-79)
