NATURAL BRIDGE HOTEL, NATURAL BRIDGE, VIRGINIA"BRIDGE OF YEARS"Gigantic arch of everlasting stone, Cut by the hand of God while ancient time Looked down in wonder on a newmade world, How many centuries through thy portals vast Since that far hour have joined eternity What was the might of Caesar, hedged with steel And robed in royal purple, unto thine? He came, he saw, he conquered andhe passed. Beneath a wreck of years imperial Rome Lies buried. And behold, where sleeps the Nile, How Egypt mourns her crumbling pyra mids. In antique days, while shepherds watched at night, In Syrian skies was lit the Star of Life Yet even then thy towering bulk was old And stained with passage of the centuries. Man, the proud pygmy, master of an hour. Vain shadow on the shifting sands of time, In supercilious impotence surveys Thy majesty eternal. As he stares The phantom of dead ages rises up And strikes his soul to silence. Structure vast, Lone, immemorial, massive monument, Lifted in triumph to the march of years, At thy fixed base, as at the feet of God. We kneel in reverence and humility Carter W Wormeley NATURAL BRIDGE
