by Dylan Thomas
And death shall have no dominion.
      Dead men naked they shall be one
      With the man in the wind and the west moon;
      When their bones are picked clean and the clean bones         gone,
      They shall have stars at elbow and foot;
      Though they go mad they shall be sane,
      Though they sink through the sea they shall rise again;
      Though lovers be lost love shall not;
      And death shall have no dominion.
   
      And death shall have no dominion.
      Under the windings of the sea
      They lying long shall not die windily;
      Twisting on racks when sinews give way,
      Strapped to a wheel, yet they shall not break;
      Faith in their hands shall snap in two,
      And the unicorn evils run them through;
      Split all ends up they shan't crack;
      And death shall have no dominion.
   
      And death shall have no dominion.
      No more may gulls cry at their ears
      Or waves break loud on the seashores;
      Where blew a flower may a flower no more
      Lift its head to the blows of the rain;
      Through they be mad and dead as nails,
      Heads of the characters hammer through daisies;
      Break in the sun till the sun breaks down,
      And death shall have no dominion.
Clearly one of the best poems ever written;this one doesn't need a picture,
it's a thousand pictures by itself.
