Shadow gives to sunshine brightness,

And it gives to joy its lightness;

Shadow gives to honour meekness,

And imparts its strength to weakness;

Shadow deepens human kindness,

Draws the veil from mental blindness;

Shadow sweetens love’s own sweetness,

And gives to life its deep intenseness;

Shadow is earth’s sacredness,

And the heaven’s loveliness;

Shadow is day’s tenderness,

And the night’s calm holiness;

Shadow’s deepest night of darkness

Will break in day’s eternal brightness.
