I am happy to share my recitation of ‘The
Cataract of Lodore’, a poem by Robert Southey. This celebrated poem was written
after Southey’s young son asked him to describe the famous Lodore Waterfalls in
rhyme, a request soon joined by his two daughters. The result is a wonderfully
musical and energetic poem that captures the rush, roar, and movement of a
waterfall through a cascade of vivid sounds and words.
I know that my recitation has not done
justice to the subject. Yet, I hope you enjoy this reading and experience the beauty, rhythm,
and imagination that have made this poem a favourite of generations of poetry
lovers.
