For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance,
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

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

How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate,
I am the captain of my soul.
