Interesting Bryony link. It's Victorian, the poet has Henry in his name (the same as a character in Bryony), and I first read this poem in childhood, in a book called Best Friend by Shirley Simon (Bryony's lead vampire is John Simons).
Loved this poem the first time I heard it, and it was one of the earliest poems I memorized (for those of you who dig memorizing poetry).
Jenny Kissed Me
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.
