And Death Shall
Have
No Dominion

Dylan Thomas

And death shall have no dominion

image of a moon

Dead man naked they shall be one
With the man in the wind and the west moon;

a black white photo of an open old fashion window with the blinds partially down

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;

an underwater black and white photo of people bobbing in the rough water

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;

a black and white image of waves

Twisting on racks when sinews give way,
Strapped to a wheel, yet they shall not break;

a side view of a human skull

Faith in their hands shall snap in two,
And the unicorn evils run them through;

a dakr hallway with a brightly lit tall and slim church window at the end

Split all ends up they shan’t crack;

And death shall have no dominion.

a prickly plant in color
Drag me

And death shall have no dominion.

No more may gulls cry at their ears

a rapid flight of seagulls

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;

storm clouds with a long hole down the middle

Though they be mad and dead as nails,
Heads of the characters hammer
through daisies;

a close-up of the front of a small animal skull
Drag me
Break in the sun till the sun breaks down,
a coloured image of yellow sunflowers or daisies

And

death

shall

have

no

dominion.
