The Bridge Builder is a poem written by Will Allen Dromgoole. "The Bridge Builder" has been frequently reprinted, including on a plaque on the Bellows Falls, Vermont Vilas Bridge in New Hampshire. It continues to be quoted frequently, usually in a religious context or in writings stressing a moral lesson.[citation needed]
The text has been attested since at least 1898 in Rare Old Chums by Dromgoole. In said book, the poem is titled Building the Bridge, and is composed and sung by a girl living near Elk River in Eastern Tennessee.[1][2]
