This would be the Yeats poem:
THE MOTHER OF GOD
THE threefold terror of love; a fallen flare
Through the hollow of an ear;
Wings beating about the room;
The terror of all terrors that I bore
The Heavens in my womb.
Had I not found content among the shows
Every common woman knows,
Chimney corner, garden walk,
Or rocky cistern where we tread the clothes
And gather all the talk?
What is this flesh I purchased with my pains,
This fallen star my milk sustains,
This love that makes my heart's blood stop
Or strikes a Sudden chill into my bones
And bids my hair stand up?

But I think that my mp3 poem was different than this one ( i don't have it here, that's why I can't check)...

Okay I checked it and I did paste the correct poem. 
I have it before a version of aDrowning Man by a different interpreter - do you guys have it just as one poem without music?
