My big teeth chop Thick branches sticks and twigs To build my cozy house My brown fur stays dry Even when I swim And my house is a river dam 4
My soft brown fur and antlers tall Do not hide me very well From hunters in the fall But other times with hikers near I swiftly run away in fear Although they mean no harm Answers Squirrel Cardinal Beaver White-tailed deer 5
Marblehead Lighthouse Walk carefully along the rocks Climb old lighthouse steps with me Up and up round and round Remember how it used to be When Rachel Wolcott stood at the peak Sending a beam so bright Keeping ships far off the shore From crashing in the night 6
Leave our picnic lunch below And climb the lighthouse steps with me Up and up round and round How far can you see While Marblehead is fast asleep The beacon flashes green Warning ships far off the shore Of dangers that can’t be seen 7
