About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of a selection of poems from Moments of Vision and Miscellaneous Verses by Thomas Hardy, in the public domain. The LibriVox catalog page for this work lists the LibriVox readers. Hardy claimed poetry as his first love, and published collections until his death in 1928. Although not as well received by his contemporaries as his novels, Hardy's poetry has been applauded considerably in recent years. Most of his poems deal with themes of disappointment in love and life, and mankind's long struggle against indifference to human suffering. (Summary from Wikipedia).
