I DO NOT ACCUSTOMED GROW

 

I DO NOT ACCUSTOMED GROW

How familiar I am with the backhanded compliment

The pitying smile yet I do not accustomed grow

Toward who or what would bring me woe

But set my face toward starry light

And guide my path the way of right

And deaf as snow I will become

To those who rob my Kingdom Come.
