Nice readings. Childhood nostalgia is always sweet!. I never had either of these experiences as a child, so can't relate.
Just one PL Note ....
In section 5, at about 1:02, the line is: “Oh, crowded world with your jostling throngs!”. I heard you pronounce “jostling” as “joe-stling”, as in the boys name Joe when the word is more like “jah-stling”. I mention it only as I know you like to have your English pronunciations spot on! I’ll leave it up to you whether you want to let it go as is or not, as I would normally let this go.
Section 6 is PL OK! .... let me know about section 5 and I'll mark it as well.
Thanks!

oh well I actually meant the author's nostalgia, not mine

oh ok, I learnt something new again. Thanks for telling me. I do want to improve.
let me try this. This poem has been recorded with my current huskier voice. It hurt quite a lot, so maybe I should wait another day to record more...feel free to tell me if it's not agreeable to the ear. I think I managed to get most of the scratch out though. Maybe the slight rasp even fits the dusk of Ireland

Just one note: At 0:39, the line is: (For bears are scarce and rods are high). I heard you say "scarce" as like having a "scar" on the face, when the word "scarce" is more like if a ghost gave you a "scare".

oops, yes you're right. I will change it, but not tonight. Thanks !
it did ? I never heard this bird actually, I just tried to make these two words sound somehow "birdy". I'm glad I conveyed the meaning.
