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.
