Schiller’s song of the Bell is his longest poem, a 430 stanza epic about building a church bell that describes the process in technical detail and uses it as a metaphor for society. Here’s an English translation: https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=wu.89081025074&seq=13
My favorite poem is the condensed version. Loosely translated:
dig a hole
pour bronze in
bell is done
ding dong ding
