Last Line: They grow transparent, and as sharp, as glass.
Alternate Author Name(s): Smith, A. J. M.
Subject(s): Shadows
Shadows there are, but shadows such as these
Are shadows only in the mortal mind,
Blown by the spirit, or the spirit's wind.
Yet shadows I have seen, of me deemed deeper,
That backed on nothing in the horrid air,
And try as try, I cannot limn the form
That some of them assume where I shall pass.
They grow transparent, and as sharp, as glass.
