- Richard Armitage reads The Night Watch for England by Edward Shanks (1942)
The crescent moon is down, I am alone,
Alone with this dim hilltop and the stars,
Alone as I have never been till now.
Huge is the night that lies on England, pricked
With all the trembling manifold of stars.
Small is the land we guard.
Small is the house I left an hour ago
To keep my watch for it and all the rest,
Small, small am I in this prodigious night.
There is no silence for the nightly watcher.
I feel no wind, yet leaf stirs after leaf and thin airs
Whimper through the grass, die and revive.
And as my ears are tuned to the night's music
I hear far off gentle waves that fall softly on an unseen beach.
I hear the gentle susurration of the pebbles
Dragged half an inch by a weak undertow.
There is no silence in my night, for now small beasts I cannot see are on the move,
Each on its business scuffles in the gorse, cautious but audible.
And now a scream, sharp, harsh and quickly stifled.
There they are my fellow countrymen,
All on four feet as proper denizens as I.
That shadow slipping across the now grown clearer skyline,
That was a badger,
One that I saw playing outside the earth last time I rode this way,
Just after dawn, last time.
Last time it was the day we knew that war was toppling on us.
I loved you then, my fellow countrymen.
The night goes on, the stars wheel by,
And this is the dead center of the lonely watch.
Nothing for me to do.
The sky is empty of all, save those remote unpitying lights.
Still I can feel no wind, and yet a chill soaks through my flesh.
The night is long, so long.
But I am not alone.
My out-stretched palm rubs on the short rough grass.
My fingers crush a scabious flower,
I can prick myself with the gorse.
Or bring the wild thyme fragrant from ground to nostril.
All these I love.
For these I watch tonight.
For these and for the village in the valley, and my own house in it.
The most beautiful man alive has the most beautiful voice on the planet.
Close your eyes, listen and imagine he's reading this beside you, for you :3
If I ever meet him I know I will faint!!! His voice is so beautiful!
YOU try working a two minute walk from the theatre where he's performing for fifteen weeks (Harold Pinter/Uncle Vanya).... would I turn a corner and..BANG!.. collision!!..would I blush?..DEFINITELY.. would I even be able to speak?...NOOOOOOOO....would I see him across the street?.. along the road?.. WHAT would I do?..HIDE....add to THAT list of stomach churning scenarios, this:.. my company makes very expensive MENS attire
...AND on the MOST famous mens' clothing street in the WORLD..(Jermyn St, St. James')... HE'S a man..he buys CLOTHES...OH, the PRESSURE...LOADS of actors, singers, dancers, come to our shop when they're in the West End...OH, the PRESSURE.. my friend & I ACTUALLY had 'practice' sessions whereby we'd 'pretend' that one or other of us had seen him in the mens' shop...and was coming to tell the other the news... picture, if you will, two headless chickens running round each other in a heightened state of sheer PANIC...it caused our 20 male colleagues more hilarity than was good for them...I am eternally grateful that there's only ONE man on this planet whom induces that level of anxiety in me...😂🤣😂🤣❤️🇬🇧
Wonderful voice and so much talent! I admire this gorgeous actor!
He is the the sexiest thing alive.
The second he started reading goosebumps literally popped up all over my body.
As if his voice is caressing and tickling my ears.... *sigh*
Este hombre puede leer lo que se le ocurra que a todas nos va a dejar con la boca abierta!!!!.Fui a ver el Capitán America solo por él!!!!!!!!!!!!.Saludos desde Argentina!!!
I think I got pregnant

Beautiful masculine voice. Richard i'm fall in love with you. You are my dream.💓💓💓
RA the only man who gets no unlikes, like its possible not to love him. it makes me laugh just thinking about, not loving *caugh* obsessing *caugh* Richard impossible.
His voice is divine - thanks so much for this
What a magnificant reading, what a magnificant man you are.
You are truly gifted in every way. Handsome tall and charming.
I love Richard Armitage too.
Thank you for this grandious poem. His voice is unique! I am speechless! I can´t express in words. It leaves unforgettable impressions to me. I love Richard Armitage.
He is so charming!!!!! And British English has quite beautiful pronunciation.
Thank you for the poem! It's a beautiful poem and a great interpretation!
OMG his voice ❤❤❤💗❤❤💗❤💗❤💗❤💗
I love listening to him. I've never heard the word "Susseration" sound so wonderful!
I was brought here by the authors note of Jeff Wheeler in his second book in the series The Poisoner of Kingfountain - The Widows Fate
One of the characters was inspired partly by the reading of this poem by Richard Armitage. Character is John Thursby a night watchmen of Kingfountain and the love and sidekick of the Kings poisoner Ankarette.
I highly recommend reading any series by Jeff Wheeler.
Utterly lovely...thanks so much for sharing this with us. I enjoy it more every time I hear it.
He has the most divine voice. I'm convinced he could read the phone and we'd think it had been written by Shakespeare.
Very atmospheric.
Thank you,thank you, beatifulllll!!!
is beautiful the video
Absolutely FANTASTIC! Thank you for sharing Danielle!!!

Thank you again!His voice it's unique!
Прекрасный, внятный, понятный, красивый английский язык! Потрясающий, глубокий и сексуальный голос Ричарда!
I thought Richard Burton's voice could not be equalled but this reading is wonderful.
I wish I could keep him company on that lonely night on watch!
@DanielleRCA Wonderful. A totally magical performance; set off by these delicious pics. Thank you.
God damn that's lovely.

I is so unfair how did you getto be so perfect in every way Richard. You are what I crave to be.
I am so jealous.
You remind a little of our Hugh Jackman to look at.Graeme from Melbourne Australia l didnt even knwo you until you were on the Vicar of Dibley I thought wow hes HOT!
Tks Daniella this is very lovely....
Thank you Richard, added to a playlist...
i love this...thank u
It's a special advantage to be a men. Cause it gives a unique opportunity to understand the true talent, not only pretty face and smooth voice.
His voice is such a turn on, total melted chocolate....mmmmmm.
That does it! I'm hiring him to narrate my life story :)
He IS my life story..! ❤️
gods......his voice! *happy sighs*
You probably know this by now, but the poet is Edward Shanks. I love this recording. Thanks for sharing it!
This is so epic..
Interesting poem. Reminds me of an biography I read of TH White who spent the war years in Ireland, mostly alone, and writing that paen to Old England and minutely observed nature: the books later combined into The Once & Future King.
If he talks about recipes/cooking he'd be gordon ramsey
I don't know what it is, but his voice just gives ordinary words such life. I keep trying to find ways to use "Susseration" in a sentence, just so I can imagine him saying it.
If I ever find out he is gay I will surely die of a broken heart
hate to burst your bubble but he was dating lee pace for a while
actually he's not.
I don't even know what was the theme of the poem, I was too concerned by my eargasm....
I purposely avoided everything that had to do with this.....beautiful gift from Nirvana..on three separate forms of social media..he appears..bringing me back under his spell...DAMN!
Just succumb to it...is FAR too powerful an energy to resist..!!😂🤣❤️🇬🇧
Martine N. So true...so very true...
I know something for sure! I will not be able to sleep tonight :D
I am hoping to get the hard copy of Alice , but has not heard anything. I think I have to explore audible again. I usually listen to him before i turn in or if reading science or philosophy. He makes my concentration sharper. His letters of Ted Hughes are always within reach. His expression is just the right pitch for me.
o.m.g.
Thanks for this moment :) Where I can find this audio track ?
"chocolate baritone voice"
thumb up
jajajaj....Si, que me lea el Menu de McDonald o la etiqueta del Kepchup...¡que voz tiene!
hmmm, The Night Watch? Perhaps Lucy Griffiths should read this :)
Where did you get the very first picture? I am dying to know> Thnxs! :D
OMG *sigh*
@mytime4t loll Indeed :))
I would like to have this poem wreaten
mariana nicoara: Dar este aici scrisa toata poezia. Numai da click pe MORE sub videoclip:
The Night Watch for England by Edward Shanks (1942)...
Smoke show

Right.
What poem is this?
marisol Santacruz Rodrigues: You probably know already, but if not, click on MORE under the video: Night Watch for England by Edward Shanks (1942)...
Such a pity for women that tis sexy man is gay :'(
I don't believe that he is.
Melanie Murray He's the sexiest man on earth with thousand of women at his feet, and yet, noone has ever seen him with a woman. But we do see him with Luke Evans...
I thought he had a girlfriend in the past... I don't think he is gay.
He had a wife I believe. ;D
msinvincible2000 Well uh, first of all. His sexuality is his business, and his alone. I feel people let their curiosity get the better of them. He's had girlfriends, as he has stated himself. So, don't accuse him of being gay (I'm not saying it's a bad thing), because until he publicly states what his sexuality is, which he may never do, then his sexuality is his own private business.
It also confuses me when people say things such as 'with thousands of woman at his feet, and yet, no one has seen him with a woman' - There's nothing wrong with him keeping his social life out of the spotlight. And Richard has stated before that love is not something he takes lightly. Just because he's attractive, doesn't mean he sleeps around/dates around. xD Also, is he not allowed to spend time with his friends? Are celebrities not allowed to do that anymore? :/
Sorry, I don't wish to sound rude. I just felt the need to state my opinion on this matter...
