A woman driving by Thomas Hardy

A woman driving Annotated

How she held up the horses’ heads,
&nbsp Firm-lipped, with steady rein,
Down that grim steep the coastguard treads,
&nbsp Till all was safe again!

With form erect and keen contour
&nbsp She passed against the sea,
And, dipping into the chine’s obscure,
&nbsp Was seen no more by me.

To others she appeared anew
&nbsp At times of dusky light,
But always, so they told, withdrew
&nbsp From close and curious sight.

Some said her silent wheels would roll
&nbsp Rutless on softest loam,
And even that her steeds’ footfall
&nbsp Sank not upon the foam.

Where drives she now? It may be where
&nbsp No mortal horses are,
But in a chariot of the air
&nbsp Towards some radiant star.
