Thought this selection of poems would be good for this time of year, though not all are seasonal.

I will also take DPL for this project.

Section 15 - The Thames

https://librivox.org/uploads/maryannspiegel/happynewyear_15_beresford_128kb.mp3
2.41

When the River Thames passes through Oxford, where it is locally known as the Isis, it flows within half a mile of where I live, so it is a familiar setting.
The final verse of the poem invokes a sudden and strange change of mood.

May I add 10 & 24 to my list?

Acknowledged. My narrations of Washington have been completed, but the audio is still being edited, and I have the Boone projects on tap for this week. I am looking forward to interpreting the above poems in the near future. Be of good cheer. KLA
