Abou ben Adham has already been mentioned, but this by the same author is worth reading.

Jenny Kissed Me

- Leigh Hunt (1784-1859)

    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 miss'd me;
    Say I'm growing old, but add-
                                     Jenny kiss'd me.
