About the work
The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:
LibriVox recording of The Rose by William Butler Yeats. Read in English by Kazbek. This recording of Yeats' second poetry collection follows The Collected Works in Verse and Prose of William Butler Yeats (1908), which places four of the poems sometimes included in The Rose under a different rubric. Those poems have been recorded in the collection Early Ballads and Lyrics. The Rose contains some of Yeats' best-known verses, including The Lake Isle of Innisfree. - Summary by Kazbek
