Unconquerable Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDEF GHIH JBJBPut 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 full clutch of circumstances | C |
I have not winced nor cried aloud | D |
Under the bludgeonings of chance | E |
My head is bloody but unbowed | F |

Beyond this place of wrath and tears | G |
Looms but the Horror of the shade | H |
And yet the menace of the years | I |
Finds and shall find me unafraid | H |
- | |
It matters not how straight the gate | J |
How charged with punishments the scroll | B |
I am the master of my fate | J |
I am the captain of my soul | B |
