Question

Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night
by Dylan Thomas

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

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

Answer 1

The rhyme scheme of the stanzas provided from "Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night" by Dylan Thomas is **abaaba**.

- The first line (night) rhymes with the third line (light), and the second line (day) does not rhyme with any other line, maintaining the pattern through the stanza.

So the correct response is:

**abaaba**
