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.
