And every one saw when she tripped in

As ever d fairy or spIite,
And quick from the orchestra back to the

Came shouts of applause and delight.

Oh, how could a mortal forget,
When charming Lolita SO gracefully

And swung TO the weird castanet?
The violin whispered it's dreamy grace
notes,
The cornet made love to the flute;
The voice of the harp was as sweet as e'er
floats
From strings of lleaven-strung Lutte.
And oh, how entrancing
Was Lohta's dancing
And how could a mortal forget?
For no sHnorita
Could ever be sWeeter
Than pretty Lolita, my pet.
Her eyes were as bright as the diamond
that night,
Her hair was the blacklist of jet;
Her passionate smile was my life and my

And thrills me with ecstacy yet

breast
The roses I'd sent for the show
