Poem By Dylan Thomas

Well, here is a poem that my English class read together and deciphered. After going through its meaning I really liked it. So here it is

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

Thought 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.

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.

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight, 
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

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.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light

----Dylan Thomas.


I will leave it up to you to get to the meaning of this. Colin Out!

Christian Colin-
To put my blog on your page I am not sure how to do it so you can just have my name and it takes you to my link. I am not that smart, but you can go...well, how about I just come down and show you today or tomorrow. It would be easier than me trying to explain, ok.
