barter for the bellmaker

barter for the bellmaker 
fire the forge, fill the flue
cast cast-iron chimes 
chime for time's renew 

fire the forge, fend the flash
fan the flames, feed the fire 
cast cast-iron cauldrons 
cast a spell, catch desire 

bitter for the bellmaker 
fires the forge, fans the same
casts cast-iron tears
cannot catch desire's flame
