villanelle
Do not go gentle into that good night, (refrain 1)
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light. (refrain 2)
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. (refrain 1)
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. (refrain 2)
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. (refrain 1)
Rage, rage against the dying of the light. (refrain 2)
