I have one thing to note for "The reaper and the flowers", in the stanza that begins around 1:35
“My Lord has need of these flowerets gay,”
The Reaper said, and smiled;
“Dear tokens of the earth are they,
Where He was once a child.

In the third line, you say in the recording "Dear tokens of the earth they are" so it changes the rhyming. For me it's fine, I don't find it such big of a difference, and I've marked it PL OK in the Magic Window, but I am mentioning it in case you'd prefer to change it.

Hi Rapunzelina -

The line from The Reaper and the Flowers has been corrected -

Thank you for the encouragement!
I do enjoy listening to all the contributions that's why some times I get delayed, waiting for enough free time for a complete listening experience, rather than listen on the go :mrgreen:

Well, its fall in New England, so noisy leaf blowers are a distraction. Better than noisy snow blowers that we'll have soon enough. :mrgreen:

But, an imminent move will take us to a more remote and very quiet place!
May even have a real recording studio someday.

Haha, thanks! I did read each through mostly correct the first time. But, when I went back through to make the inflection better in parts, suddenly I couldn't string two words together. :lol: :lol: :lol:

I would love to read La Belle Dame Sans Merci-John Keats-and while librivox has other editions, I believe, might I read this one for your collection? Elena

Hello, Craig! Because this is a translation, I am not sure whether it's in the public domain. Do you have information on when/where it was published and who it was translated by?
