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 carolling my          songs,

O I never doubt whether that is really me.
