William Butler Yeats Woman Poems

MAY God be praised for woman
That gives up all her mind,
A man may find in no man
A friendship of her kind
...

FATHER AND CHILD
SHE hears me strike the board and say
That she is under ban
Of all good men and women,
...

IF any man drew near
When I was young,
I thought, 'He holds her dear,'
And shook with hate and fear.
...

O WHAT to me the little room
That was brimmed up with prayer and rest;
He bade me out into the gloom,
And my breast lies upon his breast.
...
