A Tribute Poem to the Harbor Bridge
The time draws near for the Harbor Bridge to leave us. I remember those who trembled at her height on a restless, windy night, and those who ran their proud race across her silver span. No longer will she cradle our passage to North Beach or crown our city’s shining view. Oh, Harbor Bridge, we adore you and all the steadfast ships you welcomed through yet bigger and better, they say, has come to rescue the day for our shipping economy and the desalination of our sea. We will hold your memory in photographs, in sunlit paintings of our Sparkling City by the Sea.
