Is it or not

A horrible night it was
I saw a man in the dark
Thought it was a thief in black
Feared I got seeing him.

Did he move or not I didn't see
Out of fear i lost my discrimination.
To be safe i closed the door and sat
Inside my little wealthy home.


Came then my master with the lamp
Took me to the thief and illuminated
Saw there I a post not a thief.
Enlightened me danced in joy.
