Jenny Kissed Me

Wiki - Jenny Kissed Me is a short, charming, oft-quoted poem by English essayist, Leigh Hunt. First published in November 1838 in the Monthly Chronicle, it was inspired by Jane Welsh, the wife of Thomas Carlyle. The complete poem is:
Jenny kissed me when we met,
Jumping from the chair she sat in;
Time, you thief, who love to get
Sweets into your list, put that in!
Say I'm weary, say I'm sad,
Say that health and wealth have missed me,
Say I'm growing old, but add
Jenny kissed me.
