Here is a link to Yeats himself reading "The Lake Isle of Innisfree". You will have to do your best to ignore the comical attempt to make his lips move on the accompanying photograph.
I haven't managed to find Dylan Thomas reading Thomas Hardy's poetry, I'm afraid. I'll give you my own performance of "The Ruined Maid" either tomorrow or next week - unless you want to save yourselves from that horrible fate by volunteering.
also there is a long introduction to the poem, larger than the poem itself. well, his reading of it is like a song and also not like a song at all =) you see? something in between =P
