"Lula Is Gone"

Lula Is Gone

With a heart forsaken I wander
  In silence in grief and alone
On a form departed I ponder
  For Lula sweet Lula is gone
Gone when the roses have faded
  Gone when the meadows are bare
To a land by orange blossoms-shaded
      ever lingers in the air — 
 Where summer still dwells in the air

Chorus.
  Lula Lula Lulu is gone
  With summer birds her bright smiles
   To sunny lands have flown
  When day breaketh gladly
  My heart waketh sadly
   For Lula Lula is gone
    —
When I view the chill blighted bowers
 And roam o'er the snow covered plain
How I long for Spring's budding flowers
          smiles
 To welcome her sweet voice again
      does the earth seem
Why are these scenes then forsaken
       this
 Time will  then sadness remove
At her voice the meadows will awaken
           melody
 To verdure sweet music and love
     Chorus, —
