The candlelight flings funny shapeless shadows on the wall And when I put the candle out the queer moon shadows fall The sun casts shadows on the lawn when there are trees around Like strips of blackness painted on the green and shiny ground... And in the country when a cloud obscures the blazing sun-across the golden fields of corn the dancing shadows run And so it seems in daily life the shadows come and go We cannot have the light with out the shadow,this we know. And so when cares depress you and you cannot see a gleam Remember shadows are not quite as dark as they may seem.

Shadows
The candlelight flings funny shapeless shadows on the wall And when I put the candle out the queer moon shadows fall The sun casts shadows on the lawn when there are trees around Like strips of blackness painted on the green and shiny ground... And in the country when a cloud obscures the blazing sun-across the golden fields of corn the dancing shadows run And so it seems in daily life the shadows come and go We cannot have the light with out the shadow,this we know. And so when cares depress you and you cannot see a gleam Remember shadows are not quite as dark as they may seem.
