<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://www.hwlongfellow.org/poems_poem.php?pid=38" target="_blank"><em><strong>Under a spreading chestnut-tree</strong></em></a><br />
<em><strong>The village smithy stands;</strong></em><br />
<em><strong>The smith, a mighty man is he,</strong></em><br />
<em><strong>With large and sinewy hands;</strong></em><br />
<em><strong>And the muscles of his brawny arms</strong></em><br />
<em><strong>Are strong as iron bands. </strong></em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em><strong>His hair is crisp, and black, and long,</strong></em><br />
<em><strong>His face is like the tan;</strong></em><br />
<em><strong>His brow is wet with honest sweat,</strong></em><br />
<em><strong>He earns whate&#8217;er he can,</strong></em><br />
<em><strong>And looks the whole world in the face,</strong></em><br />
<em><strong>For he owes not any man.</strong></em></p>
