Say I’m growing old, but add, / Jenny kiss’d me.
I knew this poem, from college I guess, but had no idea that "Jenny" was Jane Carlyle. Just assumed it was some pretty crush.
Yeah, it's a surprisingly sweet description of that acidic woman.
I think I probably took her to be similar to Rosetti's Jenny.
