That Shadow My Likeness.

Part of the cluster CALAMUS.

THAT SHADOW MY LIKENESS.

THAT shadow my likeness that goes to and fro seeking a liveli- 
 hood, 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 among my lovers and caroling these songs, O I never doubt whether that is really me.

Part of the cluster CALAMUS.
