Nod to Dylan Thomas

My homage to Dylan Thomas's classic poem, "Do not go gentle into that good night."

————

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!
