The Easter Kiss

Translation of John Pollen

SOON the sun-bright feast-day cometh,—

I will claim my Easter kiss;

Others then will stand around us:

Pray, my Dora, mark you this!

Just as if I never kissed you,

Blushing red before the rest,

You must kiss with downcast eyelids,

I will kiss with smile repressed.
