Added full poem, because why wasn't it here in the first place?


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