It has followed me for years, / I have seen It slim and tall; / When the day its distance wears, / It has lengthened on the wall; / Slanting black / On my track, / I have felt Its presence fall.
Oft I flee at break of day, / But It races as I ride; / Oft I seek to slink away, / But It slouches at my side; / Or It steals / On my heels, / As the bridegroom to the bride.
