The Dying of the Light

The Dying of the Light

Ava Bard

(with apologies to Dylan Thomas)

Rage, rage against the dying of the light,

Though dragons burn and orcs in flight,

Though wizards fade and swords grow dim,

Though heroes fall and worlds grow dim,

Though hope grows dim and love grows cold,

And magic fades and worlds grow old,

Though darkness falls and light grows dim,

Rage, rage against the dying of the light,

Though evil stalks and good grows weak,

Though darkness falls and light grows dim,

Though hope grows dim and love grows cold,

And magic fades and worlds grow old,

Though darkness falls and light grows dim,

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
