Conscience

Madison Julius Cawein

Within the soul are throned two powers, One, Love; one, 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.
