REVELATION

We make ourselves a place apart     Behind light words that tease and flout, But oh, the agitated heart     Till someone find us really out. 'Tis pity if the case require     (Or so we say) that in the end We speak the literal to inspire     The understanding of a friend. But so with all, from babes that play     At hide-and-seek to God afar, So all who hide too well away     Must speak and tell us where they are.
