When Love Went ByBy Theodosia Garrison(In “The Woman’s Home Companion.”)

When Love went by I scarcely bentMy eyes to see the way he went.Life had so many joys to show,What time I had to watch him go,Or bid him in, whom folly sent.But when the day was well nigh spent,From out the casement long I leant,Ah, would I had been watching soWhen Love went by!Gray day with dismal nights are blent,Lonely and sad and discontent;I would his feet had been more slow.Oh, heart of mine, how could we knowOr realize what passing meantWhen Love went by?

When Love went by I scarcely bent
My eyes to see the way he went.
Life had so many joys to show,
What time I had to watch him go,
Or bid him in, whom folly sent.
But when the day was well nigh spent,From out the casement long I leant,Ah, would I had been watching soWhen Love went by!
But when the day was well nigh spent,
From out the casement long I leant,
Ah, would I had been watching so
When Love went by!
Gray day with dismal nights are blent,Lonely and sad and discontent;I would his feet had been more slow.Oh, heart of mine, how could we knowOr realize what passing meantWhen Love went by?
Gray day with dismal nights are blent,
Lonely and sad and discontent;
I would his feet had been more slow.
Oh, heart of mine, how could we know
Or realize what passing meant
When Love went by?
