为了让他的父亲模仿这四种类型的男人，托马斯用独特的比喻创造了所有男人的代表。托马斯开始援引智者，“因为他们的话已经分叉没有闪电他们/不温和进入那个美好的夜晚”（4-5）。托马斯所说的智者拒绝像死人那样屈从于他们的命运，因为他们还没有完成他们要做的事情。托马斯的“闪电”是一个典型的隐喻，它描述了坚强的目标，它是持续生存的动力。通过对这些聪明人，托马斯暗示，他希望他的父亲效仿他们；按对任何可能至少给他除了等待着死亡降低镰刀在他身上的一些目的。托马斯利用其他人作为父亲的理想状态的例子是通过每节的重复诗。在托马斯的第三节中，他引用了“好人，最后一个波浪，哭泣，多么明亮/脆弱的行为可能在绿湾跳舞”的优点（7-8）。这些“好男人”不断奋斗，在世界上留下自己的印记，不满足于他们主观上的“脆弱”的行为，直到最后死亡赶上他们。这些人“愤怒地反对光的死亡”（9），因为他们还没有达到他们的目标，就像智者们所做的那样。这种对进步的热情和坚持不懈的精神正是狄兰·托马斯为了迪伦自己的缘故而恳求父亲提出的品质，就像他父亲的一样。

To make his father emulate those four types of men, Thomas uses unique metaphors to create a representation of all the men. Thomas begins by invoking the wise men who, "Because their words had forked no lightening they/ Do not go gentle into that good night"(4-5). The wise men Thomas speaks of refuse to resign to their fates as dead men because they have not yet accomplished what they set out to do. Thomas's "lightening" is a representative metaphor of the goals set forth by the strong that serve as motivation to continue living robustly. By idolizing these wise men, Thomas implicates that he desires his father to emulate them; to press on toward anything that may at least give him some purpose besides waiting complacently for death to lower its scythe upon him.Thomas's use of other men as examples of a desired state for his father is repeated through each stanza of the poem. In Thomas's third stanza, he invokes the merits of "Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright/Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay"(7-8). These "good men" strive endlessly to make their mark on the world, unsatisfied with their subjectively "frail" deeds until finally death catches up with them. These men "rage against the dying of the light" (9) because they have not yet met their goals, much like the wise men proceeding them. This passion for improvement and strength to persevere are exactly the qualities that Dylan Thomas begs his father to put forth, for Dylan's own sake as much as his father's.
