I Built a Bridge

I built a bridge across the tide To gain the farther shore, And there I came on fairer glens Than any glimpsed before. I built a bridge across a vale To reach the upland slope; With singing heart I built the span — A rainbow arch of hope. I built a bridge across a gulf To hail my fellow man; I found in him a kindred spark — He helped me build the span. I built a bridge across the years To win tranquillity; I did not know how beautiful The last of life could be.

The Song of the Bridge

With hammer-clang on steel and rock I sing the song of men who build. With strength defying storm and shock I sing a hymn of dreams fulfilled. I lift my span, I fling it wide, And stand where wind and wave contend. I bear the load so men may ride Whither they will, and to what end. The light gleams on my strands and bars In glory when the sun goes down. I spread a net to hold the stars And wear the sunset as my crown.
