| Boy on a Beach, Henry Scott Tuke, 1901 |
(1830-1886)
I’m Nobody! Who are you?
Are you – Nobody – too?
Then there’s a pair of us!
Don't tell! they'd advertise – you know!
How dreary – to be – Somebody!
How public – like a Frog –
To tell one’s name – the livelong June –
To an admiring Bog!

Such great stuff from this gal - fun fact: Always using the common metre, her poems can be sung to the tune of Gilligan's Island.
Yes, they can also be sung to the tune of "Amazing Grace." I hadn't heard of the Gilligan theme in this context until now, though.
