Do Not Go Raging Into That Good Night

Do not go raging into that good night Old age should be gentle at close of day, Hush, hush against the dying of the light. Unwise though at their end claim light is right And they expect that the divine grace may, Do not go raging into that good night. Gentlemen in their just wisdom so bright Act like they got to live no other way, Hush, hush against the dying of the light. Sinners in their gross transgression so blight and die beneath their spiritual sway, Do not go raging into that good night. Somber men left to mourn the endless night Their Souls wander astray when they should pray, Hush, hush against the dying of the light. And you, my father, give up your sad plight Bless me with your contented smile, I say Do not go raging into that good night Hush, hush against the dying of the light. ~(In Response to: Dylan Thomas "Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night.")
