Public Speaking - Poem Flashcards
Stanza 1
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.
Stanza 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.
Stanza 3
Good men, the last wave y, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Stanza 4
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.
Stanza 5
Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and bee gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Stanza 6
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.
