The Haunted Lighthouse
Looming in the distance Tall and rising high Far across the river Eerily touching the sky.
As old folks tell its tale A tale so old as time Set with winds and gales On one stormy night.
I was told it was a romance A love the father scorned Between his daughter, a dashing young man Their hearts were nearly torn.
The boy had loved his lady Father threw him out But nothing could be done, they loved already Forbidden love pursued.
When Father left for town The damsel rushed to row The boat, she knew, led to the place The lighthouse she did go.
Her suitor watched her go Through the glassy window He ran and ran; he ran so sail Amidst the rain and gales.
But fate held its upper hand Lightning struck the man He screamed and cried And fell and died And lat still all the time.
The girl rushed out with vigor To meet her suitor’s hands But she saw his lifeless figure And shock killed her at once.
Then the bats all flew around Until the two were found Their hands were clasped; locked in grip Their bodies intertwined.
Up till this very day The bats have never been away The lover’s voice are always heard Their very final words.
