Thanks.

Before I send the next reading, is "ENVOY" is read as well? I don't think it is, but I'm just asking to make sure.

You can skip the word "Envoy" for smooth continuity of the poem, but it wouldn't be wrong if you wanted to include the word "Envoy" for clarity of what is that next stanza. So, your choice! :D

Hi. I've recorded Robert Frost's "Two tramps in mud time", but can't complete it now because of days- long power outage caused by hurricane Fiona here in Nova Scotia. Will upload first opportunity.

I asked my librarian about the noise, and she said, "no one would come here
if they weren't allowed to talk out loud." So I read out loud.

Thank you, Dale! Outstanding! Here's the other translation mentioned in the footnote: https://archive.org/details/WeirdTalesV07N05192605/page/n137/mode/2up
I think the one you chose is more close to the original, but they are both capable of sending a chill up the spine!

I uploaded "The Loom of the Years" by Alfred Noyes at about 7am EDT this morning and posted having done that to this project's forum, but I see no sign of that. Can you figure out what happened?

The name of the file I uploaded is spc232_loomofyears_wj_128kb.mp3

Sorry for the confusion!
I moved your post to the current open collection as I thought that's where you meant to post it viewtopic.php?p=2106023#p2106023
Thanks!
