Robert Frost (1874–1963). A Boy’s Will. 1915.

21. 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	5
(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,	10
So all who hide too well away
Must speak and tell us where they are.
