Without, not within her lyrics
 by Thomas Hardy
		
		
It was what you bore with you, Woman,
           Not inly were,
That throned you from all else human,
           However fair!
It was that strange freshness you carried
           Into a soul
Whereon no thought of yours tarried
           Two moments at all.
And out from his spirit flew death,
           And bale, and ban,
Like the corn-chaff under the breath
           Of the winnowing-fan.
