      King Neptune was a-ragin’ that day,

          As I sat near the shore.

       I didn’t think the light could stand,

          Up to the ocean’s roar.

 

       He was a god of mighty strength,

          And he waved his trident high.

       Into the sea he plunged that weapon,

          You could just hear that lighthouse sigh.

 

        That sea god was known for his temper,

            And the beacon seemed so small.

        Could it survive this terrible battle,

            As the waves came in so tall?

 

        The battle raged on and on,

            As it became very late.

         But the lighthouse would surely survive,

            As the storm began to abate.

 

         I was really proud of my lighthouse,

             As it emerged from this great trial.

         Then its mighty beam came on again,

             It was almost like a great smile.
