1. In which line do we see the blacksmith's work routine compared to another routine? *
You can hear him swing his heavy sledge.
With measured beat and slow.
Like a sexton ringing the village bell
Week in, week out, from morn till night.

2. What lesson did the blacksmith teach the reader? *
Hard work does not always pay.
We get out of life what we put into it.
Life is full of sadness.
We have no say in our destiny
