F. HOPKINSON SMITH by JOHN HUSTON FINLEY

First Line: HOP' SMITH, WHO BUILT THE LIGHTHOUSE ON RACE ROCK
Last Line: AND TOLD A TALE AS ONLY HE COULD TELL.
Subject(s): ARCHITECTURE & ARCHITECTS; ART & ARTISTS; BUILDINGS & BUILDERS; SMITH, FRANCIS HOPKINSON (1838-1915); STATUE OF LIBERTY;
"Hop" Smith, who built the Lighthouse on Race
That stands against a seven knot tidal rip
And Liberty's foundations also fixed
That she might hold her torch with steadiness.
"Hop" Smith whose passioned hobby was his
And told a tale as only he could tell.
