523. Jenny Kiss’d Me

James Henry Leigh Hunt (1784–1859)


JENNY kiss’d 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,	5
Say that health and wealth have miss’d me,
Say I’m growing old, but add,
Jenny kiss’d me.
