Sickle Scythes History

May 3, 2020 by mosadmin

My scythe and hammer lie reclined

My bellows too have lost their wind.

My Iron is spent, My Steel is gone.

My Scythes are set, my work is done,

My fires extinct, my forge decayed

My body in the dust is laid.

Walton 1968

 

Earliest record of scythe smith 1459.
