Beauty in the Rain

" 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 days must be dark and dreary."

 

THE RAINY DAY - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

 

 

My interpretation of this wonderful Longfellow Poem goes like this:

 

 

"When a Day deals you 🍋Lemons🍋……make 🍋🍋LEMONADE🍋🍋"

Most experts would agree that Henry Wadsworth Longfellow was the most popular American poet of the nineteenth century. A family man who suffered much tragedy in his personal life, Longfellow was the first of a group of writers known as the "Fireside Poets," called such for their popularity with families all over the country who gathered by the fire in the evenings to read the work of these poets aloud. Longfellow published poetry over a forty year period, and enjoyed public adulation in line with that of rock stars and celebrities today.
