He said—
Jenny kissed me when we met,
Jumping from the chair she sat in;
Time, you thief! Who loves 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.
Leigh Hunt
She said—
I hoped that he would love me,
And he has kissed my mouth,
But I am like a stricken bird
That cannot reach the south.
For tho’ I know he loves me,
Tonight my heart is sad;
His kiss was not so wonderful
As all the dreams I had.
Sara Teasdale
