"The Hammer and The Anvil"

"Last eve I passed beside a blacksmith's door

and heard the anvil ring the vesper chime;

When looking in, I saw upon the floor,

Old hammers worn with beating years of time.

" 'How many anvils have you had,' said I,

To wear and batter all these hammers so?'

'Just one,' said he; then said with twinkling eye,

The anvil wears the hammers out, you know,'

"And so, I thought, the anvil of God's word

For ages skeptic's blows have beat upon;

Yet, though the noise of falling blows was heard,

The anvil is unharmed-the hammers gone!"
