Fear no goblin mischief,
 Heed no demon bark;
Wrap the night about you tight—
 Do not fear the dark.

Tame the mares of chaos,
 Brand them with your mark;
Leap astride their backs and ride—
 Do not fear the dark.

Float in safety’s shadow,
 Sheltering the spark;
Senses bloom within its womb—
 Do not fear the dark.

Long before the founding
 Darkness was the ark,
From its snout the stars spilled out—
 Do not fear the dark.
