There is on the web an article from the Irish Echo called "Eros in Erin: Ireland’s ten greatest love poems" by Jack Holland [PDF], which quotes Stephens using the "no woman born" version, without making any mention of Moore. So perhaps there are multiple versions.

ETA I see the link gets a 404, but Google does have it cached for those who search.

Very interesting. Thanks! It works both ways rhythmically, but the meaning is slightly different, hinging on "again" vs. "never."
