There are two perspectives of the narrator that are revealed by the word, "conceal". The first is N's literal physical perspective. The second is N's psychological perspective at that moment. The entire line gives context to the final word, but it is the final word that these two important points hinge upon. There are other lines and words throughout the poem that reinforce and exemplify the narrator's point of view, but it is line 3 and specifically "conceal" that reveal and establish this early on in the piece.
