Invictus by William Ernest Henley
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.

The sweetheart song lyrics
You're as pretty as a picture, and as sweet as you can be, I love you so sincerely, you're all the world to me- And if ever I should lose you, it would break my heart- For I love you, I adore you; you're my Kappa Alpha Psi sweetheart- You are fairer than the fairest, I have loved you all the while; I know you're a Kappa darling, cause you've got that kappa style- Fate must never let me use you, fate must never let us part- For I love you, I adore you; you're my Kappa Alpha Psi sweetheart- You should never feel discouraged, never lonely, sad, or blue- Each day you're near my darling, each night I dream of you, and if ever I should lose you, It would surely break my heart- For I love you, I adore you; you're my Kappa Alpha Psi sweetheart.
