Sealed Pages

There are sealed pages in my heart,
Traced with illuminated hand,
That none can see, and if they did,
Oh! Who would understand?
But thou, by some strange sympathy,
Hast thrown a searching look,
And read at sight the hardest scroll,
Indorsed within the book.

- Eliza Cook,
Stanzas. Addressed to Charlotte Cushman
(1851)
