Many (most) people will be familiar with Dylan Thomas' famous poem 'Do not go gentle into that good night'. I have read another poem (I think by another very known Poet) that deals with the same subject but from an totally opposed perspective - the sense is one of calmness and welcoming acceptance and privilege in death.

Can anyone lead me to this poem?

YesNo

Emily Dickinson's poems comes to mind. Is this the one? http://academic.brooklyn.cuny.edu/english/melani/cs6/stop.html

This is not the one of can remember. But many thanks, I am trying to collect some to juxtapose against 'Do not go gentle into that good night' and this also slots in nicely.
