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,Youmust kiss, with downcast eyelids;Iwill kiss, with smile represt.

Just as if I never kissed you,

Blushing red before the rest,

Youmust kiss, with downcast eyelids;

Iwill kiss, with smile represt.
