||
Out of the night that covers me,<br /> | ||
Black as the pit from pole to pole,<br /> | ||
I thank whatever gods may be<br /> | ||
For my unconquerable soul. | ||
|
||
In the fell clutch of circumstance<br /> | ||
I have not winced nor cried aloud.<br /> | ||
Under the bludgeonings of chance<br /> | ||
My head is bloody, but unbowed. | ||
|
||
Beyond this place of wrath and tears<br /> | ||
Looms but the Horror of the shade,<br /> | ||
And yet the menace of the years<br /> | ||
Finds and shall find me unafraid. | ||
|
||
It matters not how strait the gate,<br /> | ||
How charged with punishments the scroll,<br /> | ||
I am the master of my fate:<br /> | ||
I am the captain of my soul. | ||
