This is really lovely - aside from it sounding so good, I'd also never heard of the poem but you're dead right about how it's not dated.

Thank you! And well worth reading his Barrack Room Ballads if you get a chance - a whole book of that stuff. For To Admire is one of the most beautiful sentiments ever expressed, it sounds like an unsarcastic Decemberists.
I did a whole record of this if you're interested: https://open.spotify.com/album/7oT6A3hJLzeO5MCbwzDbRB

Not quite the right place for it but I recently did a little live demo of a Kipling poem, one dynamic mic and one of those cheap Recording Kings that everyone bought about a year back, and I'm agog at how great it sounds. Like the performance is super scrappy (I only wrote the chords the day before) but having a nice sounding room, nice sounding mic, and a decent audio interface, plus proper monitoring to be able to EQ right, it makes such a huge difference. I can't wait to make another proper record.
