Conscience Keeps
Hidden in shadows
where dimness masks
are lovely secrets where conscience basks
Hidden in shadows
where dimness daunts
are dirty secrets where conscience haunts
Hidden in shadows
where dimness wiles
are lofty secrets where conscience smiles
Hidden in shadows
where dimness bends
are grisly secrets where conscience rends
Hidden in shadows
where dimness screens
are holy secrets where conscience gleans
Hidden in shadows
where dimness cloaks
are ugly secrets where conscience pokes
Hidden in shadows
where dimness creeps
are pretty secrets where conscience keeps
