The Lighthouse

Hails upon stormier tempestuous

sea surges, ascending, mountainous

waves crashing, splattering, appallingly

Strikes against lighthouse's sentinelling

Beam glowing, rebuffing, unremitting

High tidal's signature magnificence

To prevent maritime catastrophes

Whence before radar-scope inventiveness
