Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
27 Feb 1807
Under a spreading chestnut tree,
The village smithy stands;
The smith, a mighty man is he,
With large and sinewy hands;
And the muscles of his brawny arms
Are strong as iron bands. ”
— Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, "The Village Blacksmith," published 1841 in Ballads and Other Poems.
