This song was mentioned by Bev and Jerry in the opening message, and again by Masato:

From the sheet music in the Levy collection at Johns Hopkins University:


THE ANGEL OF SUNSET ROCK
Words and music by Charles Graham, ©1897.

1. The lighthouse keeper on Sunset Rock had trimmed his lamp for the night,
And over the ocean, far and near, it spread ifs brilliant light.
His daughter fair, on the winding stair, awaited his safe return,
But he fell; his work it was over; his own light had ceased to burn.
She took on her shoulders the burden her father had borne for years,
And banished her grief forever, chose duty instead of tears.
She sometimes wept, but her vows she kept, till ev’ry sailor knew
About the keeper’s daughter and the trouble she’d been through.

CHORUS: On the wildest night, her light shone bright, to give the sailors warning.
No thought of sleep, her watch she’d keep, until the peep of morning.
In ev’ry ship, on her outward trip, from river, canal, and dock,
The sailors all said, “God bless her; she’s the angel of Sunset Rock.”

2. One stormy night, from a foreign land, a ship for the harbor steered,
And ev’ry brave heart on board rejoiced; a home they swiftly neared.
Alas! no light on the Pilot’s sight, from Sunset Rock shed its gleam,
And the vessel struck, in the darkness, where safety had always been;
But some who escaped to the lighthouse soon opened the little door.
They saw that the girl was blameless, for stretched on the lighthouse floor,
True to the last, her young life had passed; she lay with features cold.
She died just as her father did, back in the days of old.
