Out of the night that covers me,
Black as ______ pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods ______ be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch ______ circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under ______ bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
______ this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the ______ of the shade,
And yet the menace of the ______
Finds and shall find me unafraid.
It matters not ______ strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
______ am the master of my fate,
I am the ______ of my soul.
