    That ladies voice was very creepy. Lol. I agree with others but it is just as easy to look up the poem on google chrome and read it yourself if you really just can’t understand her.

    I wish you would post the poem so we could read it ourselves. It's so hard to listen to this oral reading of it.

    Why is the cadence so broken during so many mid-sentences during this reading?
