Village Blacksmith
(The), in Longfellow's poem, we are told in an American
newspaper, was Henry Francis Moore, of Medford, Massachusetts, born
1830. But as the Village Blacksmith was published in 1842, this
is
impossible, as Moore was not then twelve years of age, and could not
have had a grown-up daughter who sang in the village choir.
