Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Answer 1

The correct response to the question about the relationship between the second lines of each stanza in Dylan Thomas’s poem "Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night" is:

**They are a refrain.**

This is because the second lines of each stanza repeat a similar structure and emphasize the poem's central theme.
