Let me go gentle into that dark night
Let me not rage against the dying light
There is another light that beckons me
That from this garish light will set me free
It softly glows and grows on that far side
I hear a hymn that sings with me abide
Let me go gentle into that dark night
I will not rage against the close of day
Let me be like a glowing sunset, pray
Sending colours of every rainbow hue
From brightest red up to the deepest blue
Let me learn from the deathbed of the sun
To leave the light and from its brightness run
Let me go gentle at the close of day.
Now, loved ones, let me wish you fond farewell
The time is right; I hear the tolling bell
It’s not a knell it has a happy ring
Like Christmas bells and voices carolling
My heart towards that call is rushing now
I’ve lived my life; please let me take that bow
And let me gently wish you all farewell.
