Thank you for that! I had a look for other poets reading their own works and came across these two.

Yeats reciting "The Lake Isle of Innisfree" with a nice long intro.

Frost reciting "Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening"

Nice links, I just forwarded them on to some folks!


Stopping By Woods On A Snowy Evening
Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.
He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound's the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.
The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
