The Great Stone Dam
Spiers Falls Dam
The Great Stone Dam
This poem is a companion to my hub Spiers Falls Dam harnessing the Hudson
The Great Stone Dam
As I sit in the quarry all alone
imagine the sound of steel on stone
A century past yet the scares are still there
A story in stone is everywhere
Silence and peace fill this place
The forest taking back at a slow steady pace
I sit in the quarry and image a scene from long ago
Working men moving to and fro
A dam of stone on the river below
to harness the waters great flow
To this day the Great Stone Dam
supplying power to the land
