Ever since I could remember,
I have known
That children
By candle light
Have seen a shadow on the wall
And have chased it all night through.
Busilly
They have tried
With all their might
To catch it.
And when they most expect to catch it
It shoots most quickly out of sight,
This shadow never shall be caught
In any trap they lay.
This shadow in the likeness
Of this world and yesterday.
