Lanka needs a poem.

How about this one from Emily Dickinson:

 

She rose to His Requirement -- dropt



by Emily Dickinson

 

She rose to His Requirement -- dropt

The Playthings of Her Life

To take the honorable Work

Of Woman, and of Wife --

 

If ought She missed in Her new Day,

Of Amplitude, or Awe --

Or first Prospective -- Or the Gold

In using, wear away,

 

It lay unmentioned -- as the Sea

Develop Pearl, and Weed,

But only to Himself -- be known

The Fathoms they abide --
