A Dead Girl To Her Lover

(2025-06-28 06:35)

I couldn't put into words my love for this poem and for all three ethereal tracks. When I first listened to them, I felt entranced. I thought they couldn't be performed any better than they already are - they're just perfect. The longing in the poem is also beautifully reflected in the melancholic voices of the songstresses who sang them with such depth of feeling. My heart finally found an outlet for its emotions in listening to these tracks, and I cried a little when I first heard them two months ago. This website is like a dream come true. Can I ask you for also playing in tune some of the poems of amelia opie(1769-1853).She also wrote beautifully on love with nature imagery. Her poems like "lines to Henry" etc.

The Haunted House

"This performance just blew me away. I have always loved Felicia Hemans. It's the work of a singer to give soul to the poem. The poem comes with wings; it waits for its righteous singer, and then it flies and makes a home in its needed owner's heart. So, three people are involved in the creative process of the poem: the poet who writes with a heart, the singer who sings with a soul, and the reader who reads and listens with a mind and a heart attentive to both."

Very beautiful! The track 2 successfully captures the whimsical and quizzical nature of the poem. Track 1 is amazing too!
