Idle Fame

    By John Clare



    I would not wish the burning blaze
    Of fame around a restless world,
    The thunder and the storm of praise
    In crowded tumults heard and hurled.
    I would not be a flower to stand
    The stare of every passer-bye;
    But in some nook of fairyland,
    Seen in the praise of beauty's eye.
