‘The Bridge Builder’ also known as the pilgrim is a poem by the american writer and poet Will Allen Dromgoole (1860 – 1934).
In her poem The Bridge Builder, she describes an old man or pilgrim, who crosses a deep, wide, watery chasm with his experience and good sense. But after crossing, he stays back to build a bridge across it, so that those who follow may not have to go through the danger of crossing the chasm sans bridge.
The fellow pilgrim is selfish and has no foresight. He tells the old man that he is wasting his time and will not have the chance to use the bridge again, as he is too old and may die soon.
The old man replies to this that the bridge is not for him, but for the younger travellers to cross safely, who with no experience may succumb to the dangers of the flowing deep water in the chasm.
