And Death Shall Have No Dominion

(5) Tree Line

Don't expect every Dylan Thomas poem to get such a relatively easy rating. The guy's known for being pretty difficult to decode later on in his career. But in this first official jaunt in poetry, Thomas keeps things pretty straightforward. And lest we forget the poem's main idea, we've got that refrain to remind us. Some of the allusions may be difficult to catch, but they're not the be all and end all of the poem.
