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's 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 shuts up taller like an indian rubberball
and he sometimes get so little that theres none of him at all
He hasn't 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 beside me he's 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 arront sleppy head
had stayed at home behind me and was fast asleep in bed
