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 |
