Invictus by Henley

I like these lines:

Out of the night that covers me,
     Black as the Pit form pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
     For my unconquerable soul.

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 matter 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.
