Born in Murfreesboro,
Tennessee, USA in 1860, Will Allen Dromgoole was a prolific author, writing not
only novels and plays but also more than 8,000 poems. She was the writer behind
the bestseller, ‘The Island of the Beautiful’ released 1911.
‘The Bridge Builder’ first
appeared in 1900 allegedly in a book entitled, ‘A Builder.’ It was later a
feature of another book called, ‘Father – An Anthology of Verse’ published by
EP Dutton & Company in 1931. The poem is often reprinted owing to its
popularity but it is in the religious context that it is frequently quoted.
