The Village Blacksmith - Peter Dawson[00:00:00]

Under a spreading chestnut tree[00:00:10]

The village smithy stands;[00:00:13]

The smith a mighty man is he [00:00:18]

With large and sinewy hands;[00:00:22]

And the muscles of his brawney arms[00:00:26]

Are strong as iron bands [00:00:31]

His hair is crisp and black and long [00:00:35]

His face is like the tan;[00:00:40]

His brow is wet with honest sweat [00:00:44]

He earns what'er he can [00:00:49]

And looks the whole word in the face [00:00:53]

For he owes not any man [00:00:58]

Week in week out from morn till night [00:01:14]

You can hear his bellows blow;[00:01:20]

You can hear his strike heavy sledge [00:01:24]

He bellow beat blow and slow [00:01:29]

Like a sexton ringing the village bell [00:01:35]

When the evening sun is low [00:01:40]

And children coming home from school[00:01:45]

Look in at the open door;[00:01:50]

They love to see the flaming forge [00:01:55]

And hear the bellows roar [00:01:59]

And catch the flaming sparks that fly[00:02:03]

Like chaff from a threshing floor [00:02:08]

He goes on Sunday to the church [00:02:24]

And sits among his boys;[00:02:30]

He hears the parson pray and preach [00:02:36]

He hears his daughter's voice [00:02:42]

Singing in the choir [00:02:48]

While it sounded to make his heart rejoice [00:02:51]

It sounds to him like his mother's voice [00:02:59]

Singing in Paradise [00:03:06]

He needs must think of her once more [00:03:11]

How in the grave she lies;[00:03:16]

And with his hard rough hands he wipes[00:03:23]

A tear out of his eyes [00:03:30]

Toiing rejoicing sorrowing [00:03:38]

Onward in life he goes;[00:03:42]

Each morning sees some task begin [00:03:46]

Each evening sees it close;[00:03:50]

Something attempted something done [00:03:53]

Has earned his night's repose[00:03:58]
