Jules, is this the poem you're referring to?

Христос воскрес, моя Реввека!
Сегодня следуя душой
Закону бога-человека,
С тобой цалуюсь, ангел мой.
А завтра к вере Моисея
За поцалуй я не робея
Готов, еврейка, приступить -
И даже то тебе вручить,
Чем можно верного еврея
От православных отличить.
Misha
