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