Sense Sonnet - Chiller

 Caroline


On the South Carolina coast

At Learnington Lighthouse be seen

Young daughter, Caroline Fripp's ghost,

As she walks back and forth between

The cottage and the lighthouse to 

Fulfill her dying father's plea,

Assure the light is lit all through

The storm that blows so violently.

1898 was the year

The hurricane hit, Caroline,

Just having lost her father, dear,

Went back and forth, the light did shine.


Still seen, the young girl filled with stress,

Walking along in her blue dress.
