TUNE-ORIGINAL.

Oh! once I was gay as the lark in May,
And my young heart beat in tune;
While my way was bright, and my step was light
As the linnet's wing in June;
But sad and alone in my grief I've grown,
And all day I now complain,
For I've lost every bliss in a world like this,
Buried deep is sweet Lottie Lane;

CHORUS.
Lottie Lane! Lottie Lane!
Lottie Lane, I'm nigh to thee ;
By thy grave I weep, by thy grave I sleep,
'Neath the boughs of the old oak tree.
Lottie Lane! Lottie Lane!
Lottie Lane, I'm nigh to thee;
By thy grave I weep, by thy grave I sleep,
'Neath the boughs of the old oak tree.

She was kind and true, and all mine too,
Lottie Lane was all for me,
Not a joy had I but when she was nigh,
Oh! we liv'd so happily;
But the oak boughs wave o'er her little grave,
In the daisied meadow now;
And, at eve, oft do I on the green sod lie,
And whisper to her below.

Wither'd roses rest on her gentle breast,
And the lilies o'er her wave,
And the birds now join their sweet lays with mine,
Singing dirges o'er her grave.
All is sad and drear, all is darkness here,
And I wander in my woe;
But betimes again I will meet Lottie Lane,
Though we meet never more below.
