When I received the Connecticut State Quarter, the chestnut tree
reminded me of the poem and, like others, induced me to to go to the
Internet to read it once again. I, too, had to recite the first t
wo stanzas fom memory in grade school.

I absolutely abhor the awful layout of this poem. I would've put the first
line after the third line and the fifth line after the ninth. Now that is
just sad! You need to tell Henry Wadsworth to rewrite this awful piece of
work.

I LEARNED THIS POEM IN THE 5TH GRADE & IT HOLDS A SPECIAL PLACE IN MY
HEART. I JUST GOT A COMPUTER & ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS I THOUGHT OF WAS TO
LOOK IT UP BECAUSE I'D FORGOTTEN A LOT OF IT. THIS IS GREAT!

Hi, I'm a third generation blacksmith in Hamilton and never tire of this
poem.
As we live we shall be seen, as we're seen we are judged,
Honest toil aint the half of it, you can almost hear it all.

I remember much of this poem from my childhood This poem has remained to
help me understand a deeper meaning for existance. No person is perfect but
the village smithy is a beautiful example for all people of what comes
close.

My mother, age 93, called me and mentioned that something was really
bothering her. She said she had to memorize this poem in school, and now
she could only remember bits and pieces of it. This is why I came to your
website. I printed the poem and will send it to her. Thank you. Joan
