Emily Dickinson - I'm Nobody! Who Are You? - Read by Julie Harris

I'm Nobody! Who Are You?
by Emily Dickinson (1830-1886)

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 June —
To an admiring Bog!

  • i love this so much, i wrote it on my guitar. but, i thought the line at the end of the first stanza goes 'they'd advertise' not 'they'd banish us'. I like that better.

  • One of her best. Real poets should have no place for ego or telling their name ad nauseum. Like beloved Keats, Dickinson could efface her outer trappings and commune with the essences of things. Wonderful work, the text of which I displayed a few months back on my channel. Thank you friend, for this meaningful upload.
