Revelation

By Robert Lee Frost

We make ourselves a place apart Behind light words that tease and flout, But oh, the agitated hear Till someone really find us 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 hid-and-seek to God afar, So all who hide too well away Must speak and tell us where they are.
