Explore "Seein' Things" by Eugene Field on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
I ain't afeard uv snakes, or toads, or bugs, or worms, or mice, / An' things 'at girls are skeered uv I think are awful nice! / I'm pretty brave, I guess; an' yet I hate to go to bed, / For, when I'm tucked up warm an' snug an' when my prayers are said, / Mother tells me "Happy dreams! " and takes away the light, / An' leaves me lyin' all alone an' seein' things at night!
Sometimes they're in the corner, sometimes they're by the door, / Sometimes they're all a-standin' in the middle uv the floor; / Sometimes they are a-sittin' down, sometimes they're walkin' round / So softly an' so creepylike they never make a sound! / Sometimes they are as black as ink, an' other times they're white -- / But the color ain't no difference when you see things at night!
