THE WIND AND THE RAIN.
I
My hopes are cross'd, my joys are lost,Heigho! the wind and the rain!
My winter comes in time of May,
And the rain it raineth every day;
I wake forlorn each weary morn—
Will sunshine never gleam again?
II
The proud man smiles, the harsh reviles—Heigho! the wind and the rain!
I pass alone through Life's dull way,
For the rain it raineth every day;
Yet, ah! not so! though wild winds blow
The sun shall pierce the clouds again.
232
III
And though the worst around me burst—Heigho! the wind and the rain!
Above the storms I'll find a ray,—
Though the rain it raineth every day:
From winter showers come summer flowers;—
The light shall cheer the dark again.
