Dichtung in dürftiger Zeit - No. 3

 Eines meiner Lieblingsgedichte von Dylan Thomas One of my favourite Poems from Dylan Thomas

Dylan Thomas reads 

"Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night"




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.
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
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 that sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
