Burton's voice carries this recording like a Voice God. But two quibbles. There are only ten poems here and should be labelled with each poem's title at least. Also, "In Tenebris" is Chapter 9 and is cut off removing more than an entire stanza. What is missing is the key conclusion to Hardy's heartbreaking poem.
What is omitted:

Who no heart hath.

Black is night's cope;
But death will not appal
One who, past doubtings all,
Waits in unhope.
