Come away from the window,
dearest child,
There's nothing good,
in the dark outside.

Lock those latches,
nice and tight,
So they can't get in,
again tonight.

What's that now?
Oh don't be scared,
I'll leave the light on,
atop the stairs.

If you hear a noise
and get a fright,
Scream for me,
with all your might!
