Invictus


Recommended Posts

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 bloodied, 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 straight the gate

How charged with punishments the scroll

I am the master of my fate

I am the captain of my soul

 

by William Ernest Henley
