VULCAN'S DAUGHTER



Her hands are small but strong.

They grasp the hammer's handle.

Dawn to dusk she weaves her song

with the bellows and the anvil.

Sparks fly 'round her coiled locks

and her eyes reflect the fire.

Her lovely skin hides the chiseled rocks

of her muscles spun like wires.

Some men look for fame and gold

to steer them to their bliss,

but these are all too frail and cold

for one who felt her loving kiss.
