Revelation

    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.
