Conscience

by

Listen in the reader

Within the soul are throned two powers, Named Love and Hate. Begot of these, And veiled between, a presence towers, The shadowy Keeper of the Keys.

With wild command or calm persuasion This one may argue, that compel: Vain are concealment and evasion-- For each he opens Heaven and Hell.
