SPANISH SONG.
I COME to thee From across the sea,     To thee, Dolores.
I play my guitar Beneath a star,     For thee, Dolores.
Two black eyes look down on me, Two cherry lips they laugh with glee,     Oh, my Dolores!
A red rose flutters to my feet, With it comes a message sweet     From my Dolores.
Looking from behind a fan, As a Spaniard only can,     Looks Dolores.
I glance up to the balcony, A fairy form up there I see—    It is Dolores!
