Thank you for a very nice reading of this ballad!
Just one small note: At 1:16 there is a car horn that you can cut

Really love your rendition of this poem! Very dramatic.

Some technical things to take care of -- the silences
At the beginning we as for 0.5-1.0 seconds and you have maybe 0.25 at most. So, could you add a bit more.
Same for the end, we need about 5 seconds and you have only about 1. And there are two things to snip - mike bumps at 8:21 and 8:31

Optional fix: The first two minutes of the recording are at a very low volume level and then it trails off again at the end. Because of the high volume and peaks later in the recording, it does average out. My suggestion is that you highlight that firs part (you should see this on the wave form in Audacity) and amplify it by 3-4 decibels. You wont lose your dramatic effect by doing this and it will keep the audio from dropping out.

So, do fix the beginning and ending silences and upload under the same file name, post your link here again with the new file length.

Thanks for a great reading!
