Rondeau
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.

Leigh Hunt 1838
A surprise first kiss from a lover or beloved is remembered with greater intensity that much else besides.
