TO MY SHADOW by JOHN BANISTER TABB

First Line: FRIEND FOREVER IN THE LIGHT
Last Line: "NEVER THENCE WILT THOU."
Subject(s): SHADOWS; SYMPATHY; EMPATHY;
FRIEND forever in the light
Cleaving to my side,
Harbinger of endless night
That must soon betide;

"Hither," seemest thou to say,
"From the twilight now:
In the darkness when I stay,
Never thence wilt thou."
