Far from the madding crowd's ignoble strife
Their sober wishes never learn'd to stray;
Along the cool sequester'd vale of life
They kept the noiseless tenor of their way.
But 'midst the crowd, the hum, the shock of men,
To hear, to see, to feel, and to possess,
And roam along, the world's tired denizen,
With none who bless us, none whom we can bless.
And Katerfelto, with his hair on end
At his own wonders, wondering for his bread.
'T is pleasant, through the loopholes of retreat,
To peep at such a world,—to see the stir
Of the great Babel, and not feel the crowd.
Visions of glory, spare my aching sight!
Ye unborn ages, crowd not on my soul!
Death calls ye to the crowd of common men.
I live in the crowd of jollity, not so much to enjoy company as to shun myself.
We met,—'t was in a crowd.
All crowd, who foremost shall be damn'd to fame.
