Question

Summary of village blacksmith help pls

Answer 1

I am a huge fan of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow outside the ambit of the literary circle and a great admirer of him within it. He is a poet who acts often as a preacher always telling us which way to go in life. If you are a Christian, you must have read the Psalms in The Holy Bible. However, if you are a student of literature, you must have read the Psalms of Life by this great poet Longfellow. One is religion and morality and another is, to a very great extent, no lesser than that! And today, I am taking some time out of my busy schedule to write for kids – the kids of secondary and higher secondary classes who have to study one of the finest poems of Longfellow – The Village Blacksmith. I will be writing the summary as well as detailed analysis of the poem so that the students might follow what the great poet tried to hint through his poem. So, let’s study Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s The Village Blacksmith!



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.
