Every 10th word

Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, against the dying of the light.

Though wise men their end know dark is right,
Because their words forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into good night.

Good men, the last wave by, crying bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
not go gentle into that good night.

Grave men, death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the of the light.

And you, my father, there on 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.
