I'm Nobody! Who Are You?

by Emily Dickinson

I'm Nobody! Who Are You?: Text of the Poem


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

How dreary to be somebody!
How public like a frog
To tell one's name the livelong day
To an admiring bog!

Did this raise a question for you?
