No more than 0.5 to 1 second of silence at the beginning of the recording!
The Quarrel by Madison Cawein, read for LibriVox.org by [your name].
[Add, if you wish, date, your location, and/or your personal url.]
Then read the poem:

An instant only and her eyes
Flashed lightning like the angry skies;

And o’er her forehead, curving down,
Fell dark the shadow of a frown;

Then backward, deep and stormy fair,
She tossed the tempest of her hair;

Then of her lips’ full rose disdain
Made a pink-folded bud again;

Then quicker than all utterance,
All changed: and at a word, a glance,

Her anger rained its tears, then passed;
And she was in my arms at last;

The austere woman, doubly dear,
And lovelier for each falling tear:

But why we quarreled, how it grew,
I can not tell, I never knew:

Perhaps ’t was Love; he, who, with tears,
Would show how fair a face appears;

As, after storm, the sky ’s more blue,
A wildflower ’s fairer for the dew.

At the end of your reading, leave a space and then say:
End of poem. This recording is in the public domain.

Please leave 5 seconds of silence at the end of your recording.
