Apollon Nikolayev Maykov

1821 - 1897 / Moscow, Russia

At Easter

Drawing near the Easter Sunday
With the Easter-greeting kiss;
When I come, remember Dora―
Not alone we suffer this!
Then, as were it for the first time-
Kiss thou me and I kiss thee;
Thou with modest eyelids downcast,
I with but ill stifled glee!
