Rapunzelina -

Two from me. I thought it curious to have two poems with the same title from the same author, but then Blake isn't known for being conventional. I included the collection title to differentiate them.

Nurse's Song from Songs of Experience by William Blake (1757-1827)
Text URL: https://www.gutenberg.org/files/1934/1934-h/1934-h.htm#page46
Duration: 0:44
MP3 URL: https://librivox.org/uploads/rapunzelina/spc214_nursessongexperience_ps_128kb.mp3

Nurse's Song from Songs of Innocence by William Blake (1757-1827)
Text URL: https://www.gutenberg.org/files/1934/1934-h/1934-h.htm#page25
Duration: 1:08

This is such a sad and beautiful poem, and touching in so many ways. Thank you for offering it here. PL OK!

Thank you, Fritz! Isn't there a third one with the same title to complete the set?

PL OK!

Rapunzelina -

Alas, Blake only wrote two, so I went with something a bit earlier for the trifecta -

The Lament of the Old Nurse by Aeschylus (c. 525-456 BC)
Text URL: https://www.bartleby.com/library/poem/74.html
Duration: 2:21
MP3 URL: https://librivox.org/uploads/rapunzelina/spc214_lamentoftheoldnurse_ps_128kb.mp3
Translator: Edward Hayes Plumptre (1821-1891)

I was surprised to find out how sparse on the ground are poems about nurses. I thought about Walt Whitman, but even with his experience as a nurse during the US civil war, the closest I could get was The Wound Dresser, but I thought Aeschylus was more appropriate.

Hello, Rapunzelina.

For some reason, my audio sounds a little dim. Maybe It's just me, but let me know if the quality is acceptable.

Hi Ike! Hmm, yes, it sounds just a little muffled? I don't know why. It is acceptable since I can hear your words clearly, but I wonder what changed. One thing to fix is that the mp3 has the wrong bitrate. Could you export again, choosing "Constant" Bit rate, and "128kbps"?

Hi, Tally, welcome to the Poetry Collection! Of course, I like it!

I do have a request if possible. In this poetry collection we are using a short disclaimer. More details in the first post, but essentially it's:

• At the beginning of the recording, leave no more than one second of silence and read the abbreviated "LibriVox disclaimer":
"[Poem title], by [author], read for LibriVox dot org by [your name]" or some variation on that, adding (if you wish) date, location.
• Then read the poem.
• At the end, say: "End of poem. This recording is in the public domain." and leave five seconds of silence.

Would you be able to make the change? Everything else is A-OK

Ah, I see, no problem. Is this better?

Hello Rapunzelina,

I would like to read, "Christ is coming (poem)" and "A Mother's sorrow and short poem".

Is this okay with you?

best,
Sandy (SKdove)

Post by **Rapunzelina** » March 18th, 2021, 11:36 pm

Yes! I'm looking forward to your recordings!

Thanks, Sandy!

Hi there,

Sorry about thr disclaimer! I asked for help, but from someone who had never done anything in the poetry collection! Silly me!
