TEARS AND LAUGHTER

by Robert Herrick

Robert Herrick

Knew'st thou one month would take thy life away,
Thou'dst weep; but laugh, should it not last a day.

    The Rainy Day
    by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
    The day is cold, and dark, and dreary It rains, and the wind is never weary; The vine still clings to the mouldering wall, But at every gust the dead leaves fall, And the day is dark and dreary.
