1. Rose kissed me today
(Sung text)

Language: English

Rose kissed me today.
Will she kiss me tomorrow?
Let it be as it may,
Rose kissed me today.
But the pleasure gives way
To a savor of sorrow;
.Rose kissed me today
Will she kiss me tomorrow?

2. Jenny kiss'd me
(Sung text)

Language: English

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.

Text Authorship:

by (James Henry) Leigh Hunt (1784 - 1859), "Rondeau"
