Any idea when this was recorded?

@SpokenVerse I have always loved this poem very much, but I was very disappointed when I heard Yeats reading it. It sounded so depressing, and not full of the beautiful dreams and pictures as I meant to find in the poem. (I am sorry to say that I find Yeats a poor reader of all his poems.) I wish SpokenVerse would read this lovely poem the way HE feels :-)

So peaceful hearing these words

I love your Yeats-like reading of this beautiful poem. I have listened many times. I have commented elsewhere on your channel that I had the rare privilege in October to stand in solitude at sunset on the banks of Lough Gill in County Sligo and gaze upon the tiny Lake Isle of Innisfree, amidst the sounds of linnet's wings. Your reading puts me back in that magical spot. Thanks again.

A great poem and a great reading, eerily similar to his actual reading of it.

Thank you for your kind words. I try to read as the poet intended and I was trying to give an impression of Yeats' Sligo accent and tempo.
