    The poem describes two lonely people, Eleanor Rigby and Father McKenzie. Eleanor Rigby picks up rice after a wedding and lives in a dream, waiting by the window. She dies alone in the church and is buried with no one attending. Father McKenzie writes a sermon that no one will hear as he darns his socks alone at night. After the burial, he wipes his hands alone as he leaves the grave, with no one saved from loneliness. The poem uses repetition of the line "All the lonely people" to emphasize the theme of isolation.

    Eleanor Rigby:
    Ah, look at all the lonely people Ah, look at all the lonely people Eleanor Rigby picks up the rice in the church where a wedding has been Lives in a dream Waits at the window, wearing the face that she keeps in a jar by the door Who is it for? All the lonely people Where do they all come from? All the lonely people Where do they all belong? Father McKenzie writing the words of a sermon that no one will hear No one comes near Look at him working, darning his socks in the night when there's nobody there What does he care? All the lonely people Where do they all come from? All the lonely people Where do they all belong? Ah, look at all the lonely people Ah, look at all the lonely people Eleanor Rigby died in the church and was buried along with her name Nobody came Father McKenzie wiping the dirt from his hands as he walks from the grave No one was saved All the lonely people (Ah, look at all the lonely people) Where do they all come from? All the lonely people (Ah, look at all the lonely people) Where do they all belong?

    Metaphor: "Lives in a dream"; "wearing a face she keeps in a jar"; "Buried along with her name" Alliteration: "Waits at the window"; "writing the words" Rhyme: "no one will hear, no one comes near" Repetition: "All the lonely people"
