The poem
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 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.
