  • The Village Blacksmith, a poem written by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, read by Alan Morris. Images are my own, or I have permission to use, and the drawings/painting were done this year as part of a series I am currently working on regarding my family roots. Alan Morris is a trained actor and professional in voice over. Jens Jørgen Olesen is a working artist and blacksmith in the Thisted Kommune of Thy. I am grateful for the time I was gifted at the Doverodde Kømandsgård in Thy, Denmark. This is where the Lodahl family took the name of the farm in Hurup and where my great grandfather left to come to Dagmar, Montana in the early 1900's. This poem was recited by my Farmor during her life as a young woman and until she passed at the age of 99. Tak Farmor, jeg elsker dig.

    I read this at my uncle's funeral. 50 years a blacksmith.
    Godspeed, Joshua Greenwood. 75 years was far too soon. The world will never know what they lost with your passing.

    Hi Robin
    Today is the date that my mum was born
    29/8/1921-2005
    She told me when she was a little girl she was chosen to recite this poem at school and at other places.
    It was clearly a dear memory for her.
    As I imagine a 10 year old girl recite this with vigour I can see a interwar generation that could hold sombre themes.
    Thank you for your video it was the best one I found
