  2. O Blame me not

    Share Share Post
    O, blame me not if in life's race
    My prize is nought but black disgrace
    If I can not maintain the place
    O, blame me not

    My efforts soar not towards the skies
    I slip & fall & fail to rise
    O, blame me not

    I see but will not heed the light
    If yet my ways are dark as night
    O, blame me not
