The day is cold, and dark, and dreary
It rains, and the wind is never weary;
The vine still to the mouldering wall,
But at every gust the 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 to the mouldering Past,
But the hopes of youth thick in the blast,
And the days are and dreary.
Be still, sad heart! and cease repining;
the clouds is the sun still shining;
Thy fate the common fate of all,
Into each life some must fall,
Some days must be dark and dreary.
