O Lord! don't give me success, <br />If it takes away my freedom; <br />Don't give me success, <br />If it pulls me in the ditch of pride; <br /> <br />O Lord! don't give me success, <br />If it makes me alone; <br />If it takes away my friends, <br />If it makes me deaf to hear the forest; <br /> <br />O Lord! don't give me such a success, <br />If it takes me away from thy beauty; <br />Don't give me success, O Lord! <br />If it takes me away from You!<br /><br />Niharica Bhardwaj<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/don-t-give-me-success/
