the poem entitled “The Rainy Day” by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.

The song and the poem tells us a dark, grim life that can break you
down to your knees, It makes you want to give up and never get back
up again, until a glimmer of hope starts to shine over the cold and harsh
obstacle, giving you a sign to never give up and go right through the
obstacle to cease the opportunity to reach your goals, ambitions and
dreams.
