Thank you, Ike! Nicely entertaining choices! :D

"Harvest" is PL OK!

"To My Grandmother" seems to be missing the first lines, at 0:10:
"Under the elm a rustic seat
Was merriest Susan's pet retreat
To merry-make"


"If I Should Die to-night" has a short repeat at the beginning, at 0:14 "If I should-- If I should die to-night",
and a misread of the third line "Weeping and heartsick o'er my lifeless clay", accidentally read as "day", at 0:22

Will you be available to fix these within the next couple of days? *fingers crossed*
Thank you!
