I read eyes when words fail

I read her eyes for all details
For, word vouched dies with all details.	
    Truth wiser is with all details,  
    As it culls from lies all details.
The hearth was hushed, so was my maw,
Her hush apprised with all details.
     She could not tell me all the truth,
     Now her silence tries-- all details.    
What was not said and left unsaid,
Her reserve spies with all details.
