That Shadow, my Likeness.
| THAT shadow, my likeness, that goes to and fro, seek- ing a livelihood, chattering, chaffering; |
| How often I find myself standing and looking at it where it flits; |
| How often I question and doubt whether that is really me; |
| —But in these, and among my lovers, and caroling my songs, |
| O I never doubt whether that is really me. |
