That lover of a night <br />Came when he would, <br />Went in the dawning light <br />Whether I would or no; <br />Men come, men go; <br />All things remain in God. <br /> <br />Banners choke the sky; <br />Men-at-arms tread; <br />Armoured horses neigh <br />In the narrow pass: <br />All things remain in God. <br /> <br />Before their eyes a house <br />That from childhood stood <br />Uninhabited, ruinous, <br />Suddenly lit up <br />From door to top: <br />All things remain in God. <br /> <br />I had wild Jack for a lover; <br />Though like a road <br />That men pass over <br />My body makes no moan <br />But sings on: <br />All things remain in God.<br /><br />William Butler Yeats<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/crazy-jane-on-god/
