• 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!

  • Nobody knows this little Rose.

    It might a pilgrim be

    Did I not take it from the ways

    And lift it up to Thee. -

    Only a Bee will miss it -

    Only a Butterfly,

    Hastening from far journey

    On it's breast - to lie -

    Only a Bird - will wonder -

    Only a Breeze will sigh,
    ...
