Walt Whitman – That Shadow My Likeness

That Shadow My Likeness

THAT shadow my likeness that goes to and fro seeking a livelihood,
 chattering, chaffering,
How often I find myself standing and looking at it where it 
 flits,
How often I question and doubt whether that is really me;
But among my lovers and caroling these songs,
O I never doubt whether that is really me.
