All as it must be
PLOT POINT: Knowing that her daughter will return in time, Demeter reluctantly accepts the terms of the bargain.
I’m told she will return
Deep from below she’ll journey back to me
And I am forced to learn
All that is and all as it must be
And though my heart will yearn
Winter will come and steal my joy from me
And I am forced to learn
All that is and all as it must be
From everything I’ve lost
There’s everything to gain
Bear witness to the cost
And honour my pain
And so the seasons turn
Soon is the Spring that calls her back to me
And I have come to learn
All that is and all as it must be
And so returns the corn
And so returns the grain
A ritual is born
To honour my pain
