My Little Shadow
i have a little shadow that goes in and out with me,
and what can be the use of him is more than i can see.
he is very, very like me from the heels up to the head;
and i see him jump before me, when i jump into my bed.
the funniest thing about him is the way he likes to grow-
not at all like proper children, which is always very slow;
for he sometimes shoots up taller like an india-rubber ball,
and he sometimes goes so little that there's none of him at all.
he hasnt got a notion of how children ought to play,
and can only make a fool of me in every sort of way.
he stays so close behind me,he's a coward you can see;
i'd think shame to stick to nursie as that shadow sticks to me!
one morning,very early before the sun was up,
i rose and found the shining dew on every buttercup;
but my lazy little shadow,like an arrant sleepy-head,
had stayed at home behind me and was fast asleep in bed.
