DAD, GO GENTLE AFTER ALL
Dad, go gentle into that good night.
Be glad you lived to see the close of day.
Why should you rage? You've had your share of light.
Though morons at their end cry "It's not right!",
Just think how they would benefit if they
Would just go gentle into that good night.
Good men are everywhere! They cry how bright
Their daring deeds have danced in life's great bay!
Why should you rage? You've had your share of light.
And you, my father, try with all your might,
Don't whine or let me see your tears, I pray.
Dad, go gentle into that good night.
Why should you rage? You've had your share of light.
