Building the Bridge 1924
-
"An old man going a lone highway
-
Came in the evening, cold and gray,
-
To a chasm vast, both deep and wide.
-
The old man crossed in the twilight dim,
-
The swollen stream was as naught to him;
-
But he stopped when safe on the farther side
-
And built a bridge to span the tide.
-
"Old man," said a fellow pilgrim near,
-
"You are wasting your strength in labor here;
-
Your journey will end with the closing day,
-
You never again will pass this way.
-
You've crossed the chasm deep and wide;
-
Why build you this bridge at eventide?"
-
The laborer lifted his old gray head,
-
"Good friend, in the path I have come," he Said,
-
"There folleweth after me today
-
A youth whose feet must pass this way.
-
This chasm which has been naught to me
-
To that young man may a pitfall be.
-
He, too, must cross in the twilight dim.
-
Good friend, I am building this bridge for him."
