William Robinson Poet I do not know?

Night Shadows

When I was just a little child,
In distant bygone years,
Sometimes I'd wake up in the night
And cry out in my fear,
When all those nameless forms
Around the darkened room would play,
Then I'd feel Mother's arms around me,
And I'd hear her gently say,
"They're just night shadows--
They're nothing you should fear.
They're just night shadows,
And you know I'm always near.
They're just night shadows,
They'll flee the morning light.
They're just night shadows,
And night shadows always vanish with the night..
