Question: "I am the master of my fate, the captain of my soul" Henley quote- What is the full poem!? I cant find it!!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
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!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It's "Invictus" by William E!. Henley!. The responder above offered the poem, but not the name/author!. Thought you might need that, too!.
