An old man,going a lone highway,
Came,at the evening,cold and grey,
To a chasm,vast and deep and wide,
Through which was flowing a sullen tide.
The old man crossed in twilight dim;
The sullen stream had no fears for him;
But he turned,when safe on the other side,
And built a bridge to span the tide.
Old man said a pilgrim near,
You are wasting strength with building here;
Your journey will end with the ending day;
You never again must pass this way;
You have crossed the chasm deep and wide.
Why build you the bridge at the even tide?
The builder lifted his old grey head,
Good friend in the path i have come he said,
There followeth after me today,
A youth whose feet must pass this way, This chasm,that has been naught to me,To that fair-haired youth may a pit fall be, He to must cross in the twilight dim, Good friend,iam building the bridge for for him.
