Thought may be you would like to see the village smith.I to worked with a black smith for about 8 years. How ever most of mine was sharpening plow shears, sickle work and welding.
THE VILLAGE BLACKSMITH by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Under the spreading chestnut tree The villge smith he stands. The smith, a mighty man is he, With large and sinewy hands; And the muscles of his brawny arms, Are strong as iron bands.
His hair is crisp, and black and long, His face is like The tan His brow is wet with honest sweat, He earns what e"er he can, And looks the whole world in the face, For he owes not any man.
Week in, week out from morn till night, You can hear his bellows blow; You can hear him swing his heavy sledge, With measured beat and slow, Like a sexton ringing the village bell, When the evening sun is low.
And Childern coming home from school Look in at the open door; They love to see the flaming forge, And hear the bellows roar, And catch the burning sparks that fly Like chaff from a threashing floor.
He goes on Sunday to the church, And sets amoung his boys; He hears the parson pray and preach, He hears his daughters voice, Singing in the village choir, And it makes his heart rejoice.
It sounds to him like her mother"s voice, Singing in paradise. He needs must think of her once more, How in the grave she lies; And with his hard, rough hand he wipes A tear out of his eyes.
Toiling - rejoicing - sorrowing, Onward through life he goes; Each morning sees some task begun, Each evening sees it close; Something attempted, something done, Has earned a night"s repose
Thanks, thanks to thee, my worthy friend, For the lesson thou has taught! Thus at the flaming forge of life Our fortunes must be wrought; Thus on its sounding anvil shaped Each burning deed and thought.
