“I have a little shadow that goes in and out with me,
And what can be the use of him is more than I can see.
He is very, very like me from the heels up to the head;
And I see him jump before me, when I jump into my bed.”

And, though these shelt’ring walls are thin,
May they be strong to keep hate out
And hold love in.”
