Very lovely reading of this poem!

Just one thing to correct. After "End of poem" please add, "This recording is in the public domain." We do need that disclaimer.
Upload your corrected file under the same name, post the link here again with new file length, and all will be well.

Thank you

The file and reading are just fine, very good reading.
The volume, however, is too loud at 93.8 decibels.
Our target is 89 dB with an acceptable range of 86-92
You can use the Amplify feature in Audacity choosing a factor of about -4.5 or so to get this closer to the target. Then, the silence at the beginning is a bit too long, so if you could trim it down to just 0.5 - 1.0 second, that would be good.
Just upload your corrected file with the same name, then post the link and new length here again so we can check it again.

Checker https://wiki.librivox.org/index.php?title=Checker is a handy program for checking your volume and other LV specs.

Checks out just fine on audio. PL OK
I completely missed that there is an error in the file name, however. We need _128kb at the end of the file name.
No need to upload again. I'll flag it and our MC will correct it at the end.

Thanks for the good read. Feel free to do another if you like.
