THE RAINY DAY
By: H. W. 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 snd dreary.
My life is cold, and dark, and dreary
It rains and the wind is never weary
My thoughts still clings to the mouldering heart
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 couldsis the sun still shinning
Thy fate is the common fate of all
Into each life some rain must fall
Some days must be dark and dreary
LEISURE
By: W. H Davis
What is the life if, full of care
We have no time to stand and stare
No time to stands benaeth the boughs
And stare as long as sheep ansd cows
No time to see, when wood we pass
Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass
No time to see, in broad daylights
Stream full of stars like skies at night
No time to turn at Beauty's glance
And watch her feet, how they can dance
No time to wait until her mouth can
Enrich that smile her eyes began
A poor life this if, full of care
We have no time to stand and stare

Once there were green fields kissed by the sun
Once there were valleys where rivers used to run
Once there were blue sky with whit ecluods high above
Once there were part an everlasting love
We were the lovers who strolled thro' green fields
Green fields are gone now parched by the sun
Gone from the valleys where rivers used to run
Gone with the cold wind that swept into my heart
Gone with the lovers who let their dreams depart
Where are the green fields that we used to roam?
I'll never knoe wha made you run away
How can I keep searching when dark clouds hide the day
I only know there's nothing here for me
Nothing in this wide world left for me to see
But I'll keep on waitin'til you return
I'll keep on waitin' until the day you learn
You can't be happy while heart's on the room
You can't be happy until you bring it home
Home to the green fields and me once again
