Solution

"..."I'm nobody!" she declares, with apparent pride."
Emily Dickinson declares with apparent pride that she is a nobody. She goes on to explain that it would be too dull or repetitive to be a somebody. She compares the public to a frog, by saying that how a frog croaks out loud to the swamp (bog), a somebody tells his/her name out loud to the public.
Because it's too repetitive and public, she declares with pride that she is a nobody.
