Sentinel, Oh, Sentinel For Sentinel Contest
Sentinel, oh, Sentinel
Sentinel, oh sentinel,
lofty by the sea;
lonely on a craggy coast,
standing tirelessly.
Watching over ships that sail
in the dark of night,
guiding them ashore with its
welcome blinking light.
Storms rise up, assailing it -
fierce and turbulent -
causing waves to pound it with
mighty discontent.
Let the tempests clamor and
crash! They cannot fell
our towering, resilient,
stalwart sentinel!
