The forging and farriery I've done has been good honest work. Reading The
Village Blacksmith brough wetness to my eyes. I will take a copy with me
tomorrow for folks to read while others try my forge and anvil. Thank you
for having the peom available.

this poem was written about the village smithy from the small town i grew
up in and live in now. its a beautiful peaceful place called Hiram on the
Saco river in the foothills. I do believe i know the hill and the spot he
is speaking of the smithy working. his grandfather settled this town and
its widely roomer d that it was written here.

I went to a one room country school, in Oklahoma, from 1932 to 1938; when
in the 7th grade I memorized this poem.

This is an especially cool poem because not only is it beautiful, but it
relates directly to his life because as a child, Longfellow loved to watch
the Village Blacksmith work.

My father was a blacksmith, and it seems that I can hear him hammering away
on some piece of steel as he fixes something for someone. Also, he taught
me the trade when I was a young boy, and I still remember how to do it.
Longfellow is my favorite poet of all time. I used to read his "Wreck of
the Hesperies," if that's the way to spell it. It is a poem about a ship
lost at sea. would love to find a copy of it.
But The Village Blacksmith will remain a favorite for me. Thanks to all
for the "Precious Memories."

Hmmmmm! To bad. Never had to memorize this poem of the blacksmith. My
teacher had us memorize the 19th Psalm in 5th grade. I love the poem.
Tells of an honest, hardworking, family man who apparently is widowed and
raising his family alone. I have a picture hanging in my hall that is
somewhat like the poem. Too bad the man in the picture is sawing wood with
a cross cut saw.
