When from a cloud the sun Peeps forth I frightened run The city through, While throwing stones with jeering noise A shadowed troop of girls and boys Pursue! In class the master stern Says, “Peter, can’t you learn To keep the rule, And bring your shadow clean and neat, All dressed in black from head to feet, To school?” And so, through all my days I shun life’s sunny ways. Though cold it be ’Tis always pleasant in the shade For one without a shadow made, Like me!
