by (James Henry) Leigh Hunt (1784 - 1859)

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.

Composition:

    Set to music by Dorothy Pilling (1910 - 1998), "Jenny kiss'd me" [ voice and piano ], confirmed with a score
