Rachel sings sweet --
Oh yes, at night
Her pale face bent
In the candle-light
Her slim hands touch
The answering keys
And she sings of hope
And of memories:
Sings to the little
Boy that stands
Watching those slim
Light, heedful hands
He looks in her face;
Her dark eyes seem
Dark with a beautiful
Distant dream;
And still she plays
Sings tenderly
To him of hope
And of memory
Rachel was written by Lennox Berkeley & Walter de la Mare.
