The Cockspur Lighthouse
The Savannah Cockspur Lighthouse
Built in eighteen eighty five
Upon an oyster-bed foundation
Has now all these years survived.
For much more than a century,
It has braced many a storm.
And though blemished by the ages,
Has survived, but is worn.
During Savannah's Civil War
While in the line of fire,
It did not suffer damages;
That's something to admire.
Tho' abandoned by the coastguard,
In nineteen-forty-nine,
‘Twas embraced by Park Service,
And continued then to shine.
In light of antique sentiments,
It stands a national monument.
