When I Got Into Bed.

I'm never frightened in the dark,
Though I am very small;
I never sit all scared. and bark
For ogres in the hall
But when my prayers are said
I have one awful dread
That something waits to grab my toes
When I get into bed!
try to think of pleasant things
Each time I get undressed;
And how each day no evil brings
If children do their best
But the thought comes in my head,
AS I'm turning down the spread.
That something's going to grab my toes
When I climb into bed.
And when there's nothing more to do,
With bed clothes open wide,
1t makes me shiver through and through
A-trying to decide
Which foot shall go ahead,
Cause I'm sure I'd tumble dead
If something grabbed my toes
AS I got into bed.
