Read the excerpt from "an irish airman foresees his death."

i know that i shall meet my fate
somewhere among the clouds above;
those that i fight i do not hate
those that i guard i do not love;
my country is kiltartan cross,
my countrymen kiltartan's poor,
no likely end could bring them loss
or leave them happier than before.

read the excerpt from "do not go gentle into that good night."

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.

good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
rage, rage against the dying of the light.
