it is a beatiful poem and a symbol of a mans toil in this world. being a
machine shop owner and blacksith by trade I can relate to the poem. Here is
my problem.I am looking for a picture of the blacksmith in the header of
this poem. I believe he is at the anvil inside the outline of his shop. any
help would be great. thanks for your time! leon

I work in a nursing home and one of the residents has a "Village
Blacksmith" picture in her room. She said that it reminds her of her
father because he was a blacksmith. She remembered part of the poem but not
all of it. I looked it up so I could read her the poem. I know it will
mean alot to her. Thank you for having such a great website.

I have always enjoyed the old poetry, but this one has special meaning
because I am a blacksmith and farrier. There is something satisfying in
honest, hard work.

While doing my genealogy, I came across a personal letter to my aunt who
did the genealogy for the entire family (being mormon and all). He
remembered my great-grandfather who was a blacksmith in the town where Mr.
Wadsworth grew up. Although the physical description was a bit off I think
she was trying to convince the family this was her grandfather for sure.
Interesting
anyways. My great grandfather help build the conastoga
wagons for the Mormons who left Illinois for Utah those
many years ago. Finding the Mormons good and honest people he decided to
join their church. They were marvelous men who stood up to the Indians. I
feel lucky to have the hand-written letters from these people who of course
are no longer with us.

I love poetry about blacksmiths. My father is a blacksmith and shoes horses
for a living, although he is getting older and can't handle the labor as
well as he once did. Reading poems such as this makes me see my father as
more than a man, almost a myth. He has always been my hero, he lives in
these verses as he lives in my heart: as a hero.

I also had to memorize this poem, a difficult task for a very shy 6th
grader who had to stand in front of Mrs. Miller's class to recite it if I
wanted to get an A. The words have come back to me countless times through
the years. Thanks, Mrs. Miller, I've grown to understand and love the
poem..but I still would not enjoy reciting it in front of a crowd!
