Excerpt: ...had entrusted her soul? They that accompanied her e'er, Faithful in forest and field? Silent they circle my child, In tearful anguish embraced- Yet little actress she lies, Smiling, closed lashes beneath; See, she is laughing in truth- thou most merciless Death! MAIKOW. MOTHER AND CHILD "Mother, why weepest thou ever For my little sister fair? She is now in heaven's kingdom- Ah, it must be wondrous there!"

Excerpt: ...had entrusted her soul? They that accompanied her e'er, Faithful in forest and field?

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! MAIKOW. The religious custom of the Easter-greeting kiss prevails throughout Russia. O MOUNTAINS OF MY NATIVE COUNTRY! "O mountains of my native country! O valleys of my home! On you gleam Winter's snowflakes white and twinkle lambs of Summer- On you the rosy sunlight glows, you know no deathly shudder!"
