OH, Tommy! He's not afraid of giants, He'd face 'em any day; And if he met a dragon, He'd scorn to run away! He's not afraid of robbers, He'd think 'em just a lark; There's but on thing he's 'fraid of, The - big - black - Dark!He's not afraid of brigands, or pirates on the sea, and if he met a lion, Dear me! how bold he'd be! But in spite of these, I fear that He'll never make his mark Until he up and challenges THE - BIG - BLACK - DARK! Postscript - One week after installation of the Edison Light in Tommy's home) All - all alone he goes to bed, straight down the shadow road ahead; and he is not afraid at all -- A magic button's on the wall! One little push! The Big Black Dark is slain! Wee Tom made his mark; and presto! shines out soft and white, The friendly big Electric Light!
