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. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ALL FOOLS' CALENDER by DONALD (GRADY) DAVIDSON THE DUNES OF INDIANA by EDGAR LEE MASTERS OCTAVES: 2 by EDWIN ARLINGTON ROBINSON MOTHER AND SON by KAREN SWENSON THE CAMBODIAN BOX by KAREN SWENSON THE SEALS IN PENOBSCOT BAY by KAREN SWENSON |
