Flicker little candle bright <br />Leadeth me to bed at night, <br />Protect me from that squeaky stair <br />And whatever lives in there. <br /> <br />As I make towards my bed <br />Keep me safe with brightness spread, <br />Now sit awhile here by my side <br />And dance your light on eyes so wide. <br /> <br />Flicker little candle bright <br />Keep me safe from what is night, <br />Wrap me in your golden glow <br />What is dark? I need not know. <br /> <br />Stay with me my little friend <br />For it will soon be dawn, <br />When specters of the night will go <br />And you’ll settle with a yawn.<br /><br />john thomas<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/afraid-of-the-dark-3/
