I had a listen to yours, David, and noticed just a couple of things:

"ever I" saw transposed to "I ever" saw

In the final verse, you omitted "And" in the penultimate line, and "oft" to "often" in the last line.

The volume is good, but at 0:18 the phrase "That ever I saw" is read as "That I ever saw"

Thank you for that edit Lisa, but you may wish to correct the following - at 0:17 the phrase "That ever I saw" is read as "That I ever saw"
(Sorry, I missed that error the first time around}
