Dylan Thomas
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 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.

This poem is written by a son to his father telling him that everything will come to an end and he will die and say good night to life so he should'nt fear but he should face the death in its all sufferings like the great people.
This poem is written by Dylan to his dying father. he writes this poem beaucse he is completely upset by his father approaching death. he wants his father to rage against death and not to give up life. he must enjoy his life. no doubt that death is the winner,unavoidable and inevitable, but this doesn't mean that he becomes obssessed by death.
This poem is written for a dying father by his son daylan, he asked his father not to give up easily and to range against death by offering wisdom and goodness. he also expressed his emotions and sadness for his dying father who suffer alot. at the end he addressed that death is the fate of every human being.
The speaker asserts that old men at the ends of their lives should resist death as strongly as they can. In fact, they should only leave this world kicking and screaming, furious that they have to die at all. At the end of the poem,we discover that the speaker has a personal stake in this issue: his own father is dying.
