(A Spanish Love Song.)

SWEET Yanita,
Amorita,
Siren by the Mexique sea,
Whisper words of love to me.
In our light panaza drifting,
Fleecy moonbeams o'er us sifting,
Silv'ry haloes circling round thee,
With supernal light have crowned thee.
Señorita,
Sweet Yanita,
List thee now to my guitarra
Wooing thee with dulcet strain,
Say not, love, my suit is vain.
Amorita,
Soft and low,
Murmur, like the water's flow,
Tender words before I go.
Sweet Yanita,
Amorita,
Ere the moon has shed its light,
While the crested waves are white,
Let me see the love-light glisten,
While to blissful words I listen,
Let my throbbing heart rejoice
In the music of thy voice.
Señorita,
Sweet Yanita,
Flexile lilies bend to greet her;
List the wavelets plash the tune
As we thread the deep lagoon.
Amorita,
Let me know,
As the drowsy water flow,
If you love me, ere I go.

Sweet Yanita,
Amorita,
As the bubbles to the sea,
Love, thou art a part of me;
Closely nestling on my breast,
Lips and eyes and hair caressed,
While my kisses fall like rain,
Words are meaningless and vain.
Señorita,
Sweet Yanita,
Than the damask roses sweeter,
Mexique maiden, I adore thee,
Love me, love me, I implore thee.
Amorita,
Bliss Divine,
Ruby lips like fragrant wine,
Whisper "Señor, I am thine."
