Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night

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 green bay
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
