Light up the wick of Conscience,
And the waiting lamp within,
Then walk alone but fearlessly,
Through life's turmoil and din.

The Shadows of your Conscience,
Will long before you
Their warning lights glow,
To light up areas that are blur.

Then help you choose your ways,
And the paths you finally take,
It's up to you then to be virtuous,
Or be the intemperate rake.

For Conscience can do no more
Than to hold the torch for you,
And brighten some dark alleys,
That might seduce and often do.
