Pure lack of wit it is to love
Such rapt, unconscious, graceful sprites,
All quivering with social fire.
Love is unsatisfied desire,
Unsocial, sad in its delights,
Senorita mia.
But since the folly holds me fast,
I hide it quickly from her sight,
Or state it calmly; it may be
Its sadness may strike pleasantly
Across ambrosial delight,
Senorita mia.
