Lady Lo‑Fu
 (Sung text for setting by E. Warren)
 Matches base text
Language: English 
My Lady Lo-Fu sits in a golden hall,
Wondrous with myriad lights and flick'ring shades,
And ere she plaits her gleaming onyx hair
She softly sings a plaintive, poignant song
That flutters like a flute song through the hall.

And ere she sings the Lady Lo-Fu's eyes
Dance with a hidden flame - gently she sighs.
Oh, lovely Lady Lo-Fu, through all the years
The memory of you lingers with me still,
Even as does your plaintive, poignant song
That flutters like a flute song through my heart.

Composition:

    Set to music by Elinor Remick Warren (1900 - 1991), "Lady Lo-Fu", published 1927 [ voice, flute, and piano ]
