And this is the song that fills the glen,
John O the Smithy has all to pay"
John has a daughter rosy and sweet,
Ny lord has a with wicked eye;
When she hears the sound OF his horses. feet,
Her heart beats qucker-she knows not why.
She will know very well before the end:
She will learn to deest their rank and pride
When she has the young lords babe to tend,
While bishops daughter becomes his bride.
There will be the old old story to tell
Of tyrannous wrongs in places high
A bishop gozing the deeds of hell,
The priest and the Levite passing by.
And the father may bow his frosted head
When he sees the young bride up at the hall,
And say 'twere better his child were dead;
But John o. the Smthy must bear it all.
The smith and the daughter will pass away,
And another shall make the anvil ring
For the daily bread and the hodden-gray;
But the profits shall go to the priest and king
And over the wide world, day by day,
The smiths shall waken at early morn,
Each to his task in the old dull way,
To tread measure of priestly corn.
And the smiths shall live on the coarsest fare,
With little that they may call their own,
While the idler is free from work and care;
For the best of all shall go to the drone.
And the smith complains of the anvil's song
Complains of the years he has wrought and pinned
For the priests and rulers swift to wrong,
And the mills of God are slow to grind.
But a clear strong voice from over the sea
Is piercing the murk of the moral night
Time is time was and time shall be
That John o. the Smhy will have his right
And those who have worn the inter and crown,
Who have pressed him sore in body and soul,
Shall perish from earth when the grist is ground
And the Mighty Miller has claimed his toll.
