My life and my soul

```

My life, a tragic record of pride,

My life, a doll for ego’s smile,

My breath is lost in the howling Night.

My hope is orphan, my cry futile.

Lo, my soul, a mounting flame of Will.

It brushes quick the tears from my eyes.

My soul’s victory over my life

Is the only triumph that never dies. ```
