The song of the blacksmith
Language: English
Kang, kang, kang ki ki kang kang. For the blacksmith courted me, nine months and better; And first he won my heart, till he wrote to me a letter. With his hammer in his hand, for he strikes so mighty and clever, He makes the sparks to fly all around his middle.
