ROYDEN BARRIE 1890-1948

ALL THROUGH THE NIGHT

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
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 winging
To you.

Royden Barrie was a pseudonym used by Rodney Bennett, father of the composer Richard Rodney Bennett. Under this name, he wrote many song-lyrics for composers like Eric Coates and Roger Quilter.
