Poem: I will go gentle into that good night
And I will not rage against the dying light
Though wise men, good men, wild and grave
May so rage
May curse and blame the end of day
They err.
For day shall yield to endless day
And lighted smiles will guide our way
To where nor rage nor tears
Nor deeds of frailty
Shall hold their place
And that Good Light which burns with eager fire
And peace and calm and sating of desire
Shall teach us love as we have never known
And brighter deeds shall dance in our green bay
And meteor's blaze be dimmed
To gentler measure grown
For we shall find that we are truly home....
