Crazy Jane On God

(Based on a poem by W. B. Yeats)

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.

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.

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.

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.

All things remain in God.

Oh, 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.

All things remain in God.

All things remain in God.

All things remain in God.

All things remain in God.

All things remain in God.
