| That lover of a night |
| Came when he would, |
| Went in the dawning light |
| Whether I would or no; |
| Men come,
men go; |
| All things remain in God. |
|
|
|
|
| Banners choke the sky; |
| Men-at-arms tread; |
| Armoured horses neigh |
| Where the great battle was |
| In the narrow pass: |
| All things remain in God. |
|
|
|
|
| Before their eyes a house |
| That from childhood stood |
| Uninhabited, ruinous, |
| Suddenly lit up |
| From door to top: |
| All things remain in
God. |
|
|
|
|
| I had wild Jack for a lover; |
| Though like a road |
| That men pass over |
| My body makes no moan |
| But
sings on: |
| All things remain in God. |
