It might be too late to help Susan in Oz, but I found this at an Australian web site called John Mark Ministries:

PRAYER OF THE BADGER
George Scott Moncrieff

Lord, I do love the darkness, the hours folk call the night.
Where others see but blackness, I know a lordly light,
The light that burns within each breathing hopeful heart,
And gives all living kin of godliness some part.

Lord, I do love the sunlight reflected by the moon.
I move by it at midnight, but hide from it at noon.
Your daylight dawning blinds me, reveals me from above,
Ungainly and unkindly, unworthy of Your love.

Lord, I do love the darkness, the hours folk call the night.
Where others see but starkness, I know a lordly light.
I dance between the trees of this cathedral wood.
I scent the gentlest breeze and know Your will is good.
