The day is cold, and dark, and drearyIt rains, and the wind is never weary;
The vine still clings to the mouldering wall,But at every gust the dead leaves fall,
And the day is dark and dreary.
My life is cold, and dark, and dreary;It rains, and the wind is never weary;
My thoughts still cling to the mouldering past,But the hopes of youth fall thick in the blast,
And the days are dark and dreary.
Be still, sad heart! and cease repining;Behind the clouds is the sun still shining;
Thy fate is the common fate of all,Into each life some rain must fall,
Some days must be dark and dreary.29
The Rainy Day
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
