Hi! Great to see you in the Poetry Collection! Thank you for your lovely recording!
I have marked it PL OK in the Magic Window, but I will mention something I noticed, in case you are a perfectionist:
at around 0:33, the text is "nor ray of promise cheats the pensive gloom", and in the recording I hear "nor rays of promise..." which difference I noticed only because the verb is in the third person singular.
But it doesn't change the meaning or the rhythm/tempo of the poem, so we're fine with it, as long as you're fine with it

Hi Rapunzelina

Thanks for proof listening. Much appreciated.

The weird thing is that this link https://fromtroublesofthisworld.wordpress.com/2014/12/10/sonnet-vii-by-hartley-coleridge/ does indeed say "nor rays of promise cheats the pensive gloom". So, I should probably upload again and use this as my text link. I already had the script to this poem on paper, so didn't bother to check if the web link text matched. Still, very strange indeed.

Also - and I don't claim to be an engineer or VO person - I've just discovered that I can eliminate the background noise in Reaper using ReaFIR. So, when I upload the new text link, can I also re-upload the new mp3, without the sound of my kicking the mike stand?

Sorted

Probably a typo at transcribing. That's why scanned texts are preferred.

Yes, definitely, show me your new magic powers with ReaFIR!

Thank you, Olga!
Please check the recording of "Moonlight" because only a portion of it was uploaded. Check to make sure you have saved the full recording and re-upload.
The other two recordings are fine, and very lovely read

Thank you:)
I will check and reupload the full record;))
