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