I Shall Not Be Afraid

I shall not be afraid any more. Either by night or day ; What would it profit me to be afraid With you away?

Now I am brave. In the dark night alone All through the house I go, Locking the doors and making windows fast When sharp winds blow.

For there is only sorrow in my heart ; There is no room for fear. But how I wish I were afraid again, My dear, my dear!
