I advised you to talk to the song "publisher" first because it is not immediately obvious that the publisher did not make the annotation. Not everybody knows that you need to do a mouse-over to discover at the end of the fine print who is the annotator. I don't want to appear as the author of the annotation, especially when it is incorrect.
There's no obvious way to delete an incorrect annotation. Why not write a regular comment? Then it can be objected to, discussed, edited, deleted and it would have a clear attribution.
Do you agree that your annotation in this particular case was incorrect and irrelevant?

I agree with Igor here. Midnight here doesn't refer to any nocturnal deity, but to a specific time of the day. *At stroke of midnight* is something, *God shall win* is something else. Just invert the phrase: God shall win at stroke of midnight - and you'll have it.

Dear [@BlueBird],
please don't annotate songs without talking to people who added them first, especially when you don't know what you're talking about.
There's no "midnight God" in the poem. There's "stroke of midnight" and there's God. Yeats was a Christian. There are no different deities in Christianity, just one - Jesus Christ.
