The "Watchkeep" Of The Coast

Truly the "watchkeep" of the coast upon a pinnacle of land now at daylight does slumber in heavy and e'er deep sleep -

He has been busy during the night's seeming silence and quietness as his radiant eye did across the low sky did sweep.

Quite to alert and warn sea vessels of the near shore be greatly aware of its close proximity of peril does upon them creep;

Bids them to stay at a safe distance lest they come aground in shallow sea - remain father out where the passage is safe and e'er deep!
