TRUE EXPRESSIONS PHOTOGRAPHER : BILL HEMMER

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 . My life is cold , and dark , and dreary ; It rains , and the wind is never weary ; My thoughts still cling to the mouldering Past ,

THE RAINY DAY

But 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 days must be dark and dreary .
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow 1807-1882
