LIFE.






I.

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!




II.

I bring an unaccustomed wine
To lips long parching, next to mine,
And summon them to drink.
