Poem · Emily Dickinson

I'm nobody! Who are you?

“I'm nobody! Who are you?” by Emily Dickinson: full text of the poem (8 lines, 46 words), quatrains. Public domain.

I'm nobody! Who are you?
Are you nobody, too?
Then there 's a pair of us -- don't tell!
They 'd banish us, you know.

How dreary to be somebody!
How public, like a frog
To tell your name the livelong day
To an admiring bog!
