- The day is cold and dark and dreary;
- it rains and the wind is never weary;
- the vine still clings to the mould'ring wall,
- but at ev'ry gust the dead leaves fall,
- at ev'ry 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 mould'ring Past,
- but the hopes of youth fall thick in the blast,
- 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 rain must fall,
- some days must be dark and dreary.
