DLTK's Poems
The Rainy Day
The day is cold, and dark, and dreary
It 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.
