o. ( 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. Though wise men at there end know dark is right, Because their words have forked no lightning they. Do Not Go Gentle into that Good Night. Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright. The frail deeds might have danced in a green bay, Rage, rage against the dying 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 in That Good Night, Grave men, near death, who see with blinding light blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay, Rage, rage against the dying 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).
