  • Invictus

  • by William Ernest Henley

  • Out of the night that covers me, Black as the pit from pole to pole,

  • I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul.

  • In the fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud.

  • Under the bludgeonings of chance My head is bloody, but unbowed.

  • Beyond this place of wrath and tears Looms but the Horror of the shade,

  • And yet the menace of the years Finds and shall find me unafraid.

  • It matters not how strait the gate, How charged with punishments the scroll.

  • I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul.
