I. M. R. T. Hamilton Bruce (1846-1899) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCEFGHGIBIB| Out of the night that covers me | A |
| Black as the Pit from pole to pole | B |
| I thank whatever gods may be | A |
| For my unconquerable soul | B |
| In the fell clutch of circumstance | C |
| I have not winced nor cried aloud | D |
| Under the bludgeonings of chance | C |
| My head is bloody but unbowed | E |
| Beyond this place of wrath and tears | F |
| Looms but the Horror of the shade | G |
| And yet the menace of the years | H |
| Finds and shall find me unafraid | G |
| It matters not how strait the gate | I |
| How charged with punishments the scroll | B |
| I am the master of my fate | I |
| I am the captain of my soul | B |
