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 bloody, 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 strait the gate,

How charged with punishments the scroll,

I am the master of my fate:

I am the captain of my soul.

 

William Ernest Henley

En medio de la noche que me cubre,

Negra como el abismo de polo a polo,

Agradezco a cualquier dios que pudiera existir

Por mi alma inconquistable.

En las feroces garras de las circunstancias

No me he lamentado ni he llorado.

Bajo los golpes del azar

Mi cabeza sangra, pero no se doblega.

Más allá de este lugar de ira y lágrimas

Se acerca inminente el Horror de la sombra,

Y aun así la amenaza de los años

Me encuentra y me encontrará sin miedo.

No importa cuán estrecha sea la puerta,

Cuán cargada de castigos la sentencia.

Soy el amo de mi destino:

Soy el capitán de mi alma.
