I Love this poem. Auden is a remarkable poet. I do wish this great reader (spokenverse) had slowed down just a bit. Thanks for posting this. It's wonderful.
You obviously have a good ear, Teresa. His voice is fantastic but sometimes he shows a lack of feel for the verse or the metre rhythms. There's a couple of metric errors in his reading of 'La Belle Dame Sans Merci', but I recommend it to you anyway. There's also a fabulous reading of it on Spotify by the actor Robert Donat. Can source it for you if you wish.
