Do not go gentle into that goodnight,
Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Wild men, who caught and sang the sun in flight,
Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Here on these pages you will find 3 poems by various composers of verse. These are some of
my favourite pieces of poetry from which I take my inspiration and just enjoy generally.
Do Not Go Gentle Into That Goodnight - Dylan Thomas
Old age should burn and rave at close of day,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that goodnight.
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that goodnight.
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Curse, bless me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that goodnight,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
