Trades - The Black-Smith

THE BLACK SMITH
 The bellows roar, the fire burris,
 The Smiths their hammers raise in turns;
 The Iron then begins to show
A different shape at every blow.
 Useful in every form it takes,
 Horses shoes, ploughs, spades, or rakes;
 In short, for use we are truely told
 That Iron far surpasses gold
From March's Penny Library 1860
