Are non-English poems ok here? I can't find a multi-lingual collection...

Oh, ignore me -- I found it over in Other Languages :)

I can do Ode to a Nightingale by John Keats if that's alright?
And, even though I am sure it's done a hundred times, I can try sonnet 116 by Shakespeare?

Hi Rapunzelina,

Here are three for January--one particularly close to my heart in memory of my Swedish great-grandmother, an immigrant.

The Wild Swans at Coole by William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

A Glance Behind the Curtain by James Russell Lowell (1819-1891)
Text URL: https://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-glance-behind-the-curtain/
Duration: 18:25
MP3 URL: posting.php?mode=reply&f=19&t=63431

Post by **Rapunzelina** » January 30th, 2017, 6:39 pm

Thank you, Ian and Winston and Josh

Josh, just to say that I found the recording in my folder OK (because the link in your post didn't work for the file). I renamed it to https://librivox.org/uploads/rapunzelina/spc164_glancebehindthecurtain_jjm_128kb.mp3 to remove the dashes. I noticed the volume was a bit low - not so low to cause problems, but keep an eye on it in case it drops more in the future. If it does, either try amplifying after recording, or check if you can increase just a little the input volume for recording.
But for this recording, everything is just fine!
And Magic Window is updated!

Thank you, Rapunzelina - next time I'll amplify another 10db with Audacity.
I'd like to read A College Breakfast Party by George Eliot next month; is it legal

Hi Rapunzelina,

Another short one by Yeats to round off the month:

Down by the Salley Gardens by William Butler Yeats (1865-1939)

Duration: 1:02

You're welcome! I think 10db would be a lot. I was thinking around 4-5db would bring it to the centre of the desired range.
Yes, A College Breakfast Party is legal. I would suggest a web-page or scanned text source that shows publication year, like archive scans, e.g. https://archive.org/stream/poemselio00eliouoft#page/n151/mode/2up
