Give My Shadow a Cup of Tea

give my shadow a cup of tea
after all it is a mere shadow
what will it do with it?

give my shadow some education
after all it is a mere shadow
what will it gain from it?

give my shadow some smiles
after all it is a mere shadow
what will it do with it?

give my shadow a woman to marry
after all it is a mere shadow
what will it do with her?

give my shadow peace in a package
after all it is a mere shadow
what will it do with peace?

give my shadow nothing of things
after all it is a mere shadow
what feelings can it have?
