Edna St. Vincent Millay reads "Ballad of the Harpweaver"

[@lancer525]

I first read this at about age ten. Forty-five years later, I still cannot read it without tears flowing.

This makes me so humble and grateful for everything .

I am so pleased to hear the poet's voice.

I love hearing her voice and her passion with her poem!

[@edcjke]

In her OWN voice..thanks for sharing this very important and timely poem

@percentum4 I do believe! My niece (now 25) was introduced to Millay in her school. America has some appreciation for the written word -- not everyone is glued to reality TV!
Glad you liked the Millay.

It’s strange, she’ll be 38 this year and I found her when I was 17, and one day I’ll be 33 and someone will find her at the same age as me.

Wow this poem made me cry, it's so touching :(

She, her mother, and her sisters lived through hard times just like that.

We in the Bronx play this heartwarming verse every Christmas, it rivals anything Dickens ever did.
