"Where Has Lula Gone?"

Little voices laughing free
 Laughing on the lawn
Tell me can you answer me
 Where has Lula gone
Where is that merry form
 Ever on the move
Glancing through calm and storm
 Living beams of love
Soft rays of mellow light
 From her eyes were thrown
And her smiles were summer bright
 Where has Lula gone
   —
She has left the sunny hills
 In their blushing bloom
She has left the running rills
 Gushing round her home
Far in some distant land
 She may yet be seen
Leading a fairy band
 Like a fairy queen
Far far my longing heart
 on her path has flown
Yet no answer can impart
 Where has Lula gone
