Revised Version of Do not go gentle into that good night. By: Dylan Thomas

Please go gentle into that good night,
Old age shouldn’t burn and rave at close of day;
Don’t rage, why rage against the dying of the light?
 
 Wise men at their end look forward to that heavenly light,
Their lives will no longer be filled with pain and strife,
They will go gentle into that good night.
 
Good men, the last wave by, crying how you should
take the free gift of the water of life.
So don’t Rage, Don’t rage against the dying of the light.
 
 Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
 And learn, surely their reward is on its way,
 They will go gentle into that good night.
 
 Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
 Blind eyes could blaze at the face of Jesus Christ,
 So don’t Rage, Don’t rage against the dying of the light.
 
 And you, my father, there on the sad height,
 Sing, bless, me now with your last words, I pray.
 You will go gentle into that good night.
 Don’t rage, Don’t rage against the dying of the light.


Poems are green and Poetry is mean.
-Poetry Beast

Please accept my endless gratitude,
I'm tickled pink,
You're a gift!
Thank you for your time and attention.
It's a blessing you've stopped to observe and listen.
