I'm Nobody! Who are you?

First published in Poems: Second Series (Boston: Roberts Brothers, 1891).

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!
