Immortal t\cs, why do they never die?
They < orne bt twct n me and the cheerful sky.
Anil take the place of every sphinx-like star.
They haunt me always, always; and they mar
Tin' ?^omfort of my sicck tranquillity.
In dreams you lean your cheek on mine and sigh;
And al! the old, caressing words float by.
They haunt me always, always; yet they are
Immortal lies.
O love of mine, half queen, half-butterfly.
You tore my soul to hear its dying rrv,
And soiled my purpose with a deathless scar.
Go then, my broken songs, go near and far
And ?"tnin's love and her inconstancy
Immortalize.

I swoon, I ?ink, I fall?
Your beauty overpowers me ;
I am a prey to all
The yearning that devours me.
Your beauty overpowers me?
It never gives me rest;
The yearning that devours me
Is loud within my breast.
It never gives me rest.
And tho' a wilder ringing
Is loud within my breast,
I have no heart for singing.
And tho' a wilder ringing
Ceeaes ever and again,
I have no heart for singing,
And Music it? a pain. . . .
( omes ever and again
The vision of your beauty;
And Music is a pain.
And Life a weary duty.
The vision of your beauty
Arises everywhere;
And Life?a weary dots
Is more than I can bear.
Arises everywhere
Your face. Your subtle splendor
Is more than I can bear?
Oh love, be not s?- tender. . . .
Your face, your subtle splendor?

Oh love, be not so tender'
I swoon, I sink, I fall.

Oh, some may quaff their tankards and laugh
With many a flowery toast.
They will sing of pale or nut-brown aJe,
Or the draught they love the most.
But I despise such mirth for I prise
A sweeter and headier wine?
So drink to me only with thine eyes,
And I will pledge with mine!

Won't you leave just a kiss?In the cup?
Who can control the thirst of the soul??
And, dear, that plight is mine.
A thirst that gnaws from such a cause
Must have a drink divine.
So while my glass is raised, alai!?

BARBER OF SEVILLE
AGAIN WELL SUNG
Mr. De Luca Continues His
Favorable Impression?Mr.
Damacco Improves.
A ne". Flora it always a welcome
fricad. Uni urytona brood of
the veritiata. they do not grow upon
every bush. Ros?ir.i .-. Pagan la a bar-,
ber, but he must be an artiat in song,
in action and in innate spirit. A career
begun among the works of young Italy
i? not conducive to bel canto, to lighS
ness of expression, to the grace and
charm of the coloratura op?rai. There?
fore, we may well be thankful
for the addition of Mr. De Luca
to the Metropolitan. With Ml??
Hempel, and later with ?Mme.
Barriento?, he bid? fair to make the
old repertory popular once more. Hi?
Figaro last night showed all the qual?
ities which it displayed a week ago.'
There wa? the same nimble little figure
of the man, whose vein? ran quicksil?
ver, and whose brain outatripped even
hi? heels; there wa? the ?ame humor
out cynicism, never dwelling long
enough on any one emotion to become
bitter; there was the same absolute in?
souciance of ?pint. In short, the Bar?
ber of Beaumarchais trod the board?
once more. And the Barber of Rosuni
was at his elbow, for Mr. De Luca
knows how to uie his ?plendid voice, to:
ling florid passage? with grace and
certainty, to give to his tone* ?olor
and nuance and infinite exprenlon.
Mr De Luca i? at once the Figaro of
Rossini and of Beaumarchais.
Miss Hempel i* not perhap? an ideal
linger of coloratura, nor is ?he an
ideal Rosina. but she is none the le??
very' charming !n the part, and ?ings
the music in good ?tyle. Mr. Mala
te?ta, the new buffo, is amusing at Dr.
Bartolo, and if he exaggerate? th?
i part he has authority to do it. The
same may be said of Mr. Didtir'?
Basilio. Mr. Demacco, whose opening
appearance as Almaviva, did not cause
any great rejoicings, showed marked
improvement in the part. His nervous
nes? had left him. with the result that
his voice lost much of it? white qua!- :
It* and gained in body. He was not yet
?n carriage a Spanish grandee, but ho
at least showed a voice and a ?ty'e.
