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.
