Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell of circumstance,
I have not winced nor cried aloud;
Under the bludgeoning of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid,
It matters not how strait the gate
Or how charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate;
I am the captain of my soul.
