One is not amazed,
At a first glance,
By a poem,
Which is as tight-closed
As a tiny bud.
Yet one is surprised      
To see the poem
Gradually unfolding,
Revealing its rich inner self
As one reads it
Again

The poem compares a poem to a bud that is 'tight-closed' - just as a bud's beauty is hidden inside until it blooms, a poem's deeper meaning may not be immediately apparent. 'With hidden meaning' captures this metaphorical sense. The other options are too literal - 'Closed shut' and 'Sealed' are physical states, while 'Established' is completely unrelated to the metaphor of a bud gradually opening to reveal its inner beauty.
