But, Robert, Emily was willing to share the name --


            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!
