MY SHADOW Robert Louis Stevenson. (1850 /1894)

I have a little shadow that q goes in and out ou with my,
And what can be the use of him is more that I can see,
He is very  very like me from the heels up to 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 e very slow ;
For he all sometimes shoots up taller like an India  rubber ball,
And he sometimes gets so little than there. None 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 me in every sort of way ;
He stay  so close beside me  he's a coward you can see,
I'd think shame to nurse nursing nursie as that shadow stir 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.  I fast asleep in bed.
