RACHEL, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: No days that dawn can match for her
Last Line: Her strange, new hours of ease.
Subject(s): Tears


NO days that dawn can match for her
The days before her house was bare;
Sweet was the whole year with the stir
Of young feet on the stair.
Once was she wealthy with small cares,
And small hands clinging to her knees;
Now is she poor, and, weeping, bears
Her strange, new hours of ease.
