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. 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'S SLEEPY HEAD HAD STAYED AT HOME BEHIND ME AND WAS FAST ASLEEP IN BED
o eat, I am fed on proper meat; You must dwell beyond the foam, But I am safe and live at home. [Illustration] LOOKING FORWARD When I am grown to man's estate I shall be very proud and great, And tell the other girls and boys Not to meddle with my toys. MY 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 gets so little that there's none of him at all. [Illustration: "_I have a little shadow._"] 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 a coward you can see; I'd think shame to stick to nursie as that shadow sticks to me!
