Suspicion
Suspicion
Under the deep night and cold stars Are you afraid? | |
User's of people' s wealth, Coming dishonest From council rooms, into the night Might be afraid. Owners of tenements Planning to crowd them For gold In their purse Might cower beneath the night. Men with a blackness Of untruth, kept concealed, Bitten deep in their souls, Might be afraid, It they had any souls.... | |
But why are you afraid, Under the deep night and cold stars! | |
