The Shadows

The Shadows
By: Frank Dempster Sherman

All up and down in shadow-town
The shadow children go;
In every street you�re sure to meet
Them running to and fro.

The move around without a sound,
They play at hide-and-seek,
But no one yet that I have met
Has ever heard them speak.

Beneath the tree you often see
Them dancing in and out,
And in the sun there�s always one
To follow you about.

Go where you will, he follows still,
Or sometimes runs before,
And, home at last, you�ll find him fast
Beside you at the door.

A faithful friend is he to lend
His presence everywhere;
Blow out the light�to bed at night�
Your shadow-mate is there!

Then he will call the shadows all
Into your room to leap
And such a pack! they make it black,
And fill your eyes with sleep!
