Out of the night that covers me,
as black as a pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever Gods may be
for my unconquerable soul.
In the failed clutches of circumstance
I have winced, nor cried aloud.
And under the bludgeonings of chance,
my head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of rath and tears
looms but the horror of the shade,
and yet the menace of the years
shall come and find me unafraid.
It matters not how straight the gate,
or how charged with punishment the scroll,
I am the master of my fate,
the captain of my soul.
"HLS The light of the world, forever hold it high"
