The Rainy Day ‧ 1842
Into each life some rain must fall, Some days must be dark and dreary.
Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
Nobody escapes hardship, the lines say: every life will have some rain, and some days will be gloomy and bleak. The tone is accepting rather than bitter, treating sorrow as an ordinary, expected part of living, as natural and unavoidable as weather.
