Walt,
It starts like this:

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.


The poem was written in 1951 by Dylan Thomas for his dying father. As 
Thomas' poems go it was quite accessible, and became very popular, for 
it does not have the verbal gymnastics of his earlier works.  For the 
full poem, as well as a recording of the poet reading it, go to:
