Explore "My Conscience!" by Robert Louis Stevenson on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
OF a' the ills that flesh can fear, / The loss o' frien's, the lack o' gear, / A yowlin' tyke, a glandered mear, / A lassie's nonsense- / There's just ae thing I cannae bear, / An' that's my conscience.
Whan day (an' a' excüse) has gane, / An' wark is düne, and duty's plain, / An' to my chalmer a' my lane / I creep apairt, / My conscience! hoo the yammerin' pain / Stends to my heart!
