"Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, ‘The Rainy Day‘. Longfellow is best-remembered for his Song of Hiawatha, but this fine rain poem perfectly CAPTURES the mood that rainy weather so often inspires – dreary depression.


Its repetition of ‘My life is COLD, and dark, and dreary’ was possibly inspired by Tennyson’s ‘Mariana’, who utters, ‘My life is dreary’.


But Longfellow’s poem is mostly remembered for the line, ‘Into each life some rain must fall’, which has attained almost PROVERBIAL status.


Emily Dickinson, ‘Summer Shower‘. This is a wonderfully evocative poem describing the coming of rain to the dry summer land, with some arresting and UNUSUAL metaphors for the raindrops – as you’d expect from a Dickinson poem."
