I'll use this text source for A Storm in the Mountains https://archive.org/details/poems00harpgoog/page/n84 because it includes publication date. Hope that's ok!

And one more -

Summer, by John Clare (1793-1864)
Text URL: https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/43951/summer-56d222d973e59
Duration: 1:26

I was curious what a clock-a-clay was. This lady (https://racheldacus.net/2014/05/clock-a-clay/) says, "The meaning of “clock a clay,” as poet Susan Stewart tells us (she selected the poem for PD) comes from a rural Northhamptonshire belief. The idea is that you can tell time by counting the number of taps on the ground it takes to make a ladybug fly away." So - a clock-a-clay is a term for a ladybug, but its use seems almost exclusively limited to John Clare.

Thanks!

Hey, MontyB! Welcome to the Poetry collection and thank you for your contributions.

I don't think the dog and the bees is a poem

When exporting from Audacity, you don't need to add the .mp3 part in the filename, as Audacity does that. Otherwise you end up with a double .mp3 in the end.

I've fixed those filenames so it's fine now!

Lovely, entertaining reading!

Hey leknarf! Thank you for contributing with the Andalusian Sereno! Intriguing poem and very well read!
