Looking for a Cohen poem recitation

A while ago I came across a webpage with a short video of Leonard in which he read the poem from the Book of Longing about time: 'I carried mountains, leaves fell inside me, I surrounded your beauty with applause, and when you wanted to go home, I swept aside the infant dust' (apologies if I have misquoted, I am quoting from memory as I do not have the book to hand). Leonard's recitation was beautiful. I have searched in vain for the website. Does anyone know if it is still available somewhere?

I'm really don't know where that may have been but I'm going to suggest the CBC Canadian Broadcasting website somewhere maybe?
