The lighthouse shines on Kloosterboer

The lighthouse shines on Kloosterboer

"Three wives sat up in the lighthouse tower,
And they trimmed the lamps as the sun went down;
They looked at the squall, and they looked at the shower,
And the night-rack came rolling up ragged and brown.
But men must work, and women must weep,
Though storms be sudden, and waters deep,
And the harbour bar be moaning."
(Charles Kingsley in The Three Fishers)
