foi polido/a pelo tempo
alisar, tornar-se lisa is not wrong, but we are here talking about poetry, literature, therefore I'd suggest something like
... foi polido pelo tempo...
... o tempo poliu...
Anyway.. to wear smooth is also polir
... foi polido pelo tempo...
... o tempo poliu...
Anyway.. to wear smooth is also polir
