Poem: Darkness (Voice)

Voice

I also assert full ownership over the likeness rights in my own voice.

Male voice reading a verse from Edgar Allan Poe's The Raven [1845 so it's out of copyright] - a nice Gothic theme which many Freesounders seem to like.

Dynamic mic and PC. Unedited. Slight EQ and compression.

Text:
Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing,
Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before;
But the silence was unbroken, and the darkness gave no token,
And the only word there spoken was the whispered word, `Lenore!'
This I whispered, and an echo murmured back the word, `Lenore!'
Merely this and nothing more.

Thank you Speedenza! I have to admit I have worked with a lot of Radio DJs And work with singers ! But I do my own type of music and your Voice was just too good not to use on a track!
