Here is my first recording for this project, the pitiful plaint of a poverty stricken seamstress—Section 84, "The Song of the Shirt."

Here is my second contribution, the gloomy story of a fallen maiden's suicide, Section 91, "The Bridge of Sighs."

Duration: 4:18

Note for PL: I have corrected 2 errant words in the Gutenberg text. In the 5th stanza the word "Bash" should be "Rash"; and in the twelfth stanza "Swit" should be "Swift." In addition to just common sense judgment, I have checked a standard publication of the poem for accuracy.

Here is Section 121, "I'm Not a Single Man." When writing a passage in a young woman's album, the married poet must carefully avoid any hint of flirtation.
