Above the door of the lighthouse an inscription on a plaque reads:
Ye who mid storms and tempests stray in dangers midnight hour
Behold where shines this friendly ray and hail its guardian tower
Tis but faint emblem of her light my fond and faithful guide
Whose sweet example meekin bright led through this worlds eventful tide my happy course aright.
And still my guiding star she lives in realms of bliss above
Still to my heart blest influence gives and prompts to deeds of love
Tis she that bids me on the steep kindle this beacons flame
To light the wanderer o`er the deep who safe shall bless her name
So may sweet virtue lead your way that when life`s voyage is o`er
Secure like her with her you may attain the heavenly shore
