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 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 and 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,'' he said, 'There followeth after me today A youth whose feet must pass this way. 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."
