I PASSED BY YOUR WINDOW
Words by Helen Taylor. Music by May H. Brahe.
New York: Enoch & Sons, 1916.

I passed by your window when the morning was red,
The dew on the rosebud, the lark overhead,
And oh! I sang softly though no one could hear,
To bid you good morning, good morning, my dear!

I passed by your window in the cool of the night,
The lilies were watching so still and so white,
And oh! I sang softly, though no one was near,
Good night, and God bless you, God bless you, my dear!


May Brahe (1884-1956) was Australian. She moved to London in 1912. She and Helen Taylor were frequent collaborators. Their most famous song was BLESS THIS HOUSE.
