Upon the Firth, where steel and sky embrace, The Fourth Bridge stands, a marvel bold and grand, Its arches rise, a testament to grace, A ribbon forged by human heart and hand.

With spans that stretch like dreams across the tide, It whispers tales of journeys yet to come, Each train that rolls, a pulse, a rhythmic stride, In harmony with nature’s steady drum.

The sun will cast its glow on rust and rail, As seagulls dance above the waters deep, In storms it weathers, steadfast through the gale, A guardian where land and ocean meet.

O Fourth Bridge, symbol of our will to strive, In iron and in spirit, you survive.

In Scotland’s capital, where waters flow, A fourth bridge spans the Firth of Forth’s tide, Connecting shores, a feat of engineering’s glow, A marvel of the modern world inside.

Its cables strong, its towers high and wide, It stands as testament to human might, A pathway for the people, side by side, A symbol of connection, shining bright.

The Forth Bridge, its neighbor, old and gray, A relic of the past, yet still in use, The two bridges stand, a contrast to display, The old and new, in harmony they muse.

The Fourth Bridge, a wonder of our time, A bridge of progress, a work sublime.

Upon the Fourth Bridge’s mighty span, I gaze, Where Thames’ dark waters flow silently. A marvel of the modern age, it raises Awe and admiration, in its majesty.

Four arches of steel, in harmony stand, Connecting banks with grace and strength combined. In sun or rain, it holds its noble ground, A testament to human will and kind.

It whispers tales of progress, trade, and time, Of horse-drawn carriages and steam-powered dreams. Now crossed by countless souls, in rhythm and rhyme, A silent witness to the world’s extreme.

So here’s to thee, Fourth Bridge, in verse entwined, A symbol of our past, our present, and mankind.
