Don't Look Into The Light!!! Urgent and desperate tone of "Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night"

"Rage, rage against the dying of the light."

This poem's tone is very multidimensional. On one hand it seems commanding. he demands that each of the men "do not go gentle into that good night". I believe the good night represents death and the speaker is telling them not to succumb to its call. The tone also seems urgent. The speaker realizes in all these instances that death is imminent and he must urge them to "Rage against the dying of the light". Finally the tone seems desperate. The speaker uses examples of men who are at the end of their life wishing for more time as they realize how much they have not yet accomplished. He uses these examples to plead with his father to not regret leaving and to fight against death to stay with the speaker. The tone of the poem gives the desperate feeling of someone who is losing someone they love.
