1. The blame is lifted from the blind
As a child in the tender season slips,

2. And from him whose vision is obscured
When in blindness his steps mislead,

3. And from the aged when he stumbles
Through the feebleness of many a year;

4. They are not burdened for their weakness
With reproach like an earthen pot;

5. But rather they are pitied and excused
For presumptuousness in their affairs.
