A VILLAGE BLACKSMITH, by GEORGE DARLEY Poet's Biography First Line: Here he, your law, vociferous wits Last Line: Safe in their innocence and in their charms. Subject(s): Blacksmiths | |||
HERE he, your law, vociferous wits, Strong son of the sounding anvil, sits; Black and sharp his eyebrow edge, His hand smites heavily as his sledge -- At will he kindles bright discourse, Or blows it out, with blustrous force; The fiery talk, with dominant clamour, Moulds as hot metal with his hammer. Yet this swart sinewy boisterer, His wife and babe sit smiling near, All fairness with all feebleness in her arms, Safe in their innocence and in their charms. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE VILLAGE BLACKSMITH by HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW THE MASTER BLACKSMITH by ARNOLD ANDREWS THE LITTLE BLACKSMITH by ALICE CARY CYCLOPS' SONG by THOMAS DEKKER BORGER JORIS'S HAMMER by ARTHUR GUITERMAN THE HOUSE OF BLAZES by ARTHUR GUITERMAN THE BLACKSMITH OF LIMERICK by ROBERT DWYER JOYCE THE BLACKSMITH OF SIPPICAN by EDWARD NOYES POMEROY THE GRETNA GREEN BLACKSMITH by JAMES SMITH (1775-1839) ETHELSTAN: RUNILDA'S CHANT by GEORGE DARLEY |
