Lighthouse
Your pillar of truth
Our beacon of light
Show us the way (of the)
Starboard and the portside
Illuminate me now
Bedazzle me white
See me so small
Im blinded in sight
Thy tower so tall
Empowered to write
Exposed by your beam
Ghostly ship in the night
'pon steely hard granite
Imploring your rays (like)
Coved dish of satelite
A tempestuous sea
In the saline of my sight
Inscribed on those palms
Was Thy love for me
Later to be gored
By these very same hands
Who's blood this I see?
Striped red 'round this house
Flows down the trunk of a tree
Amix with my own
'Twould be an honor for me
When drawn from the well
Make me the same
Comes one perrilous night
A torch to forgive
(Magnificent power!)-a bearer of light
