Caroline Poem by Ima Ryma

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.
