I had (E minor) collected all my worn-

the white
man regards the black (A minor) (D major) (E minor)
That feeling results from fear
From the strong physical contrast
which intercept the sympathy
Which subsists between men

From the consciousness of having
done them great wrongs
And from the desire to escape
this (A major) pain of self (E minor) reproach
(D major) (E minor) By laying the blame
