Do not go
gentle into that good night,
Old age
should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage
against the dying of the light.
Though wise
men at their end know dark is right,
Because their
words had forked no lightning they
Do not go
gentle into that good night.
Good men, the
last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail
deeds might have danced in a
Rage, rage
against the dying of the light.
Wild men who
caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn,
too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go
gentle into that good night.
Grave men,
near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes
could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage
against the dying of the light.
And you, my
father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless
me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go
gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage
against the dying of the light.
