Shadows here and shadows there,
Shadows on the ground;
As the morning sun appears,
Shadows all around.
Shadows long and shadows short,
Shadows on the wall;
With the emerging gift of light,
Shadows for us all.
Shadows streaking everywhere,
Shadows o’er the lawn;
Shadows always at their best,
Following on the dawn.
To look upon your shadow,
Rise early in the morn;
On seeing the segmented sun,
Your shadow will be born.
