Walter Savage Landor 1846

I know not whether I am proud
but this I know, I hate a crowd;
therefore pray let me disengage
My verses from the motley page,
where others far more sure to please
Pour out their choral song with ease.

And yet perhaps, if some should tire
with too much froth or too much fire,
There is an ear that may incline
even to words so dull as mine.
