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
.
I never saw a moor,
I never saw the sea;
Yet know I how the heather looks,
And what a wave must be.
I never spoke with God,
Nor visited in heaven;
Yet certain am I of the spot
As if the chart were given.

Wow, thousands of poems. Emily is a lovely name for a lovely poet. (My daughter's name is Emily, too)
Great poster, great poet!
How beautiful! I love the poster too.
I think we can all relate to Emily Dickinson's poems, and that's why we love her so much. I love the poster!
She is one of my all time favorite poets. I like how you feature poets and artists here. I better get myself back to sleep. See you another time!
