Show THE MACHINIST Many times have I stood there and watched him sI The man bending over the lathe ff ff To some he is just a machinist I. I To others a laboring slave Nt But I see in this man something different As his hands work along with his heart J. J I stand there beside a great artist Who has mastered mechanical art As I stand there and look on the turnings JI He measures each piece with great care ft As the artist who plies with his brushes J. J J A painting of beauty and rare ft ff JJ And soon from the roughest of forgings rt Some intricate piece I can see JI I. I Has been wrought by this master machinist tt The man who stands there with me No labor has ever seemed toilsome J To the man who can make it an art W rt No hand ever seems to grow weary When the work is attuned to the heart r EP Covington i n S h |
