sweeter songs of love than the brown bird ever knew -- Wood's other little tune -- 1924
Speranza
1922
all through the night
there's a little brown bird singing,
singing in the hush
of the darkness and the dew.
would that his song
through the stillness
could go winging,
could go winging to you,
to you.
all through the night-time
my lonely heart is singing
sweeter songs of love
than the brown bird ever knew.
would that the song
of my heart could go a-winging,
could go a-winging to you,
to you.
Harry Rodney Bennett – H. Wood.
