SONG
Maria mia! all in white
Your fairy form against the night,
Maria!
Your fairy form against the night,
Maria!
Maria mia! in the night
Gleams like a ghost your form so slight,
Maria!
Gleams like a ghost your form so slight,
Maria!
Maria mia! like a sprite
Burn those eyes in dusky light,
Maria!
Burn those eyes in dusky light,
Maria!
419
Maria mia! sweet and wise
Those darkling, deep, Italian eyes,
Maria!
Those darkling, deep, Italian eyes,
Maria!
Maria mia! starry skies
Hold no such brightness as those eyes,
Maria!
Hold no such brightness as those eyes,
Maria!
Maria mia! turn, O turn
Those eyes away that beam and burn,
Maria!
Those eyes away that beam and burn,
Maria!
Maria mia! when those eyes
Burn close, O close, I am not wise,
Maria!
I am not wise,
Maria!
Burn close, O close, I am not wise,
Maria!
I am not wise,
Maria!
