Henry Wadsworth Longfellow: Poems
What main ideas are conveyed in the poem?
The rainy day
The rainy day
There is a sense of darkness of both mood and imagrery.
The day is cold, and dark, and dreary;
It rains, and the wind is never weary;
This darkness extends to the speaker's life,
My life is cold, and dark, and dreary;
It rains, and the wind is never weary;
By the third stanza, the speaker has a sense of hope. The metaphor being that bad times eventually pass.
Be still, sad heart! and cease repining;
Behind the clouds is the sun still shining;
The Rainy Day
