Believed to be dedicated to Dylan Thomas’s father, this poem contains a universal message on death and our attitude towards it. I like how the narrator acknowledges that death is inevitable, but urges that we don’t have to go quietly; we should be brave in the face of death - and fight it bravely.

William Wordsworth was a Romantic poet known for his themes of nature and sympathy in the common man. Here’s one of my favourites from him :)
