The Song of the Bridge
 With hammer-clang on steel and rockI sing the song of men who build. With strength defying storm and shock I sing a hymn of dreams fulfilled. I lift my span above the tide And stand where wind and wave caress. I bear the load so men may ride On rainbow road to happiness. The light gleams on my strands and bars In glory when the sun goes down. I lift a net to hold the stars And wear the sunset as my crown. David Steinman, P.E., who founded NSPE 75 years ago this September, was known as one as the world's greatest bridge designers and "the poet who writes in steel." In the later years of his life, Steinman used the creativity inspired by his bridge designs and focused on expressing himself through words. He authored several poems, and his work was featured in numerous publications, including the New York Times and the Poetry Society of America Anthology. |
