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.
