Transcript / Notes

In some British schools, the following song was sung to this air several years ago:

LATE and early, brawny and burly,
There at his anvil the blacksmith stands,
Never tiring by strength inspiring,
Manfully toiling with eager hands.
List to the clamour of his busy hammer,
Mark the sparks that upward fly like showers of falling rain:
Hear him singing as his sledge goes swinging
’Til the glowing iron rings again.

Romeo and Juliet

Dance of the Knights
