Read the passage from "Rainy Day."

It rains, and the wind is never weary;
The vine still clings to the moldering wall,
But at every gust the dead leaves fall,
And the day is dark and dreary.

Respuesta :

I'd say it emphasizes the dreariness of life. It talks and makes you imagine a dark, cold, wet night, with rain falling down and leaves falling down.

It doesn't talk about anything happy or bright. It just lets you imagine a dark, rainy night, and that symbolizes dreariness, or more specifically, the dreariness in life.
