My homage to Dylan Thomas's classic poem, "Do not go gentle into that good night."
of darkness, blight, and disease;
rage, rage against the dying of the light—please!
With all of your might
until I am at ease!
Do not go gentle into that good night
of solemn, irrevocable sleep;
rage, rage against the wooing of the Deep!
Come to me and to the light—
or else I shall weep!
Do not go gentle into that good night
of the ebb of your power;
rage, rage against the withering of your flower!
Deny eternal rest its right
to come before the hour!
Do not go gentle into that good night
that takes you before one;
rage, rage against the gradual setting of your sun!
Before the end's almost within sight,
fight, fight, so life's still won!

Nod to Dylan Thomas
Do not go gentle into that good nightof darkness, blight, and disease;
rage, rage against the dying of the light—please!
With all of your might
until I am at ease!
Do not go gentle into that good night
of solemn, irrevocable sleep;
rage, rage against the wooing of the Deep!
Come to me and to the light—
or else I shall weep!
Do not go gentle into that good night
of the ebb of your power;
rage, rage against the withering of your flower!
Deny eternal rest its right
to come before the hour!
Do not go gentle into that good night
that takes you before one;
rage, rage against the gradual setting of your sun!
Before the end's almost within sight,
fight, fight, so life's still won!
