<poem> | |||
Let hammer on anvil ring, | |||
And the forge fire brightly shine; | |||
Let wars rage still, | |||
While I work with a will | |||
At this peaceful trade of mine. | |||
The sword is a weapon to conquer fields; | |||
I honor the man who shakes it: | |||
But naught is the lad who the broad-sword wields | |||
Compared to the lad who makes it. | |||
Clang! Clang! Clang! | |||
Then huzzah for the anvil, the forge, and the sledge! | |||
Huzzah for the sparks that fly! | |||
If I had a cup I would straightway pledge | |||
The armourer, that is I! | |||

Let hammer on anvil ring,
And the forge fire brightly shine;
Let wars rage still,
While I work with a will
At this peaceful trade of mine.
The sword is a weapon to conquer fields;
I honor the man who shakes it:
But naught is the lad who the broad-sword wields
Compared to the lad who makes it.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Then huzzah for the anvil, the forge, and the sledge!
Huzzah for the sparks that fly!
If I had a cup I would straightway pledge
The armourer, that is I!
