And death shall have no dominion.
Dead man 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.
The subject of this fine poem is death and the theme what it will not be able to do and the loss of her power. Good read and good choice.

A very excellent prose poem by Dylan Thomas, that Famous great welsh poet. This poem touches my inner heart
" And death shall have no dominion. Under the windings of the sea" ....This poem is very deeply philosophical. Soul is just like star and this reflects the inner feeling and divinity. This poem is excellently penned.
Death shall have no dominion because no one comes out life alive....so death is terminally irrelevant. A disassemblage of sinew and fibre back to nature.
Dylan Thomas simply on top of his poetry game. Genius and poetry for eternity and a legacy for all humankind. Sleep well Dylan. Nos da.
Yes death shall have no dominion. Though lovers be lost love shall not; And death shall have no dominion..... very insightfully framed.
