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

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.
