SENORITA MIA.

Are in her presence hovering.

Yet I still murmur helplessly,

Senorita mia.

Come, fairy dress, enrich my verse,

Black, graceful; black, a woman's hue,

Her sanctum. Through the flowery shade

Of gauze the soft skin sunlight made;

Last gleamed a locket of pale blue,

Senorita mia.

The neck held lovingly by lace

Bends with a winning curve; two white

And slender-wristed hands entwine;

Thence to the floor the noble line

Of black betrays the perfect height,

Senorita mia.
