Facts of Life

Though Bellini is dreamy and pensive,

The demands that he makes are extensive,

And a diva who’s weak

From the point of technique,

Will await her reviews, apprehensive.

Fach of Life

Though Bellini is pensive and dreamy,

He isn’t verismo or steamy,

And the voice to perform a

Persona like Norma

Is different from one that sings Mimi.
