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
Longfellow
@Jezibaba "Into each life some rain must fall" was one of my mom's favorite sayings. I must have heard it at least once a week, used ironically about some minor tragedy like burned toast. She never quoted the rest of the poem -- for all I know, she may not have known it.
