Essay: Using the text below, explain the meaning and tone of the poem "The Rainy Day" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. identify and include examples of at least two literary devices used. 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, 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.

In this poem, Longfellow uses a rainy day to symbolize the hard times of life. Although the tone at the beginning of the poem is very dark and sad, by the end, the tone is hopeful as Longfellow recognizes that te sun in still shining and that good times will return. - Longfellow includes several literary devices in this poem, including symbolism, apostrophe, alliteration, imagery, and refrain. - Symbolism: the rain and the wind symbolize the hard times in life, the sun symbolizes the good times, and the vine clinging to the wall symbolizes his thoughts persistently clinging to the past. - Apostrophe: "Be still, sad heart!" - Alliteration: day, dark, dreary; wind, weary; sun still shining; etc. - imagery: the vine "clings" to the "mouldering" wall; the "dead" leaves fall; etc. - refrain: Although Longfellow modifies the wording slightly as the poem progresses, a clear refrain can be seen in the first line of stanzas one and two, as well as in the last line of every stanza.
