THAT SHADOW MY LIKENESS by WALT WHITMAN

Poet Analysis

First Line: THAT SHADOW MY LIKENESS THAT GOES TO AND FRO SEEKING LIVLIHOOD
Last Line: O I NEVER DOUBT WHETHER THAT IS REALLY ME.
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.
