Bar of iron cold black

     fire that Burns so very hot

water from rain clear and pure

     hammer of steel heavy and hard

into the fire till glowing hot

     sprinkle with powder so very rare

lay on the amble oh so old

     sparks do fly as it is worked

over and again to give it form

     careful work yet very hard

heat and work and do it again

     until it holds its final form

then heat in the fire hot

     and thrust in the water very cold

then file and file to an edge

     polish and shine and it is done

fit with a handle made of wood 

     wrap with wire to give a good hold

in to a scabbard place it now

     get another bar and start again
