The creepers on the wall / Cannot be swept away. Stories of inner hall / Should not be told by day. What would have to be told / Is scandals manifold. The creepers on the wall / Cannot be rooted out. Scandals of inner hall / Should not be talked about. If they are talked of long, / They'll be an endless song. The creepers on the wall / Cannot be together bound. Scandals of inner hall / Should not be spread around. If spread from place to place, / They are shame and disgrace.
