Read the last stanza from "The Rainy Day" by Henry Wadsworth

Longfellow

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.

What does the phrase "the common fate of all" mean in the
poem?

O what happens to everyone

O beloved by most people

O easily avoided

O unique to just a few people

The answer is "what happens to everyone," as "fate" is what is destined to happen. "Thy fate" is the fate that everyone shares, or the thing that will happen to everyone.
