That shadow, my likeness

Language: English

That shadow, my likeness, that goes to and fro,
seeking 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 among my lovers, and caroling my songs,
O I never doubt whether that is really me.
