The music for Aura Lea was composed by George R. Poulton and published by the John Church Company in 1861. It was a hit at minstrel shows and sung by troops during the Civil War long before Elvis Presley made it popular as Love Me Tender  in 1956. My arrangement of the sentimental melody is inspired by music boxes from my childhood.

Aura Lea (sometimes spelled Aura Lee) is an American Civil War song about a maiden. It was written by W. W. Fosdick (lyrics) and George R. Poulton (music).

Aura Lea was published by Poulton, an Englishman who had come to America with his family as a boy in 1838, and Fosdick in 1861. It was a sentimental ballad at a time when upbeat and cheerful songs were more popular in the music halls.[1] It became popular as a minstrel song, and the tune was also taken up by the U.S. Military Academy as a graduating class song, called Army Blue; new lyrics by L. W. Becklaw were sung to the original melody.
