Description
Carl E. Smith was inspired to write a poem “The Old Covered Bridge.”“It’s passing away, like the buggy and horse, a Relic of ‘days that were better’, of course, Like the old wooden mill, and the old water wheel It’s been replaced by new structures of steel. But a picturesque spot on the landscape remains The Old covered bridge, through the sun and the rains.
How oft, when abroad, in the wind and the storm, we sheltered ourselves in the old covered bridge, And in summer’s bright heat, in the day’s stifling calm, We cooled in the shade of the old covered bridge. And, often, when caught by a quick thunderstorm, we hurried the horse to the old covered bridge. So it stands in its beauty, bridging over the creek.
Like a thing that is doomed, waiting patient and meek, for the days of destruction of body and frame, like the passing of woodlands from which it once came. Quint relic of yesterday – lest we forget is the old covered bridge as it stands with us – yet.”
