"Jenny kiss'd Me" (original title: Rondeau) is a poem by the English essayist Leigh Hunt. It was first published in November 1838 by the Monthly Chronicle. The poem — per its original title, a rondeau — was inspired by Jane Welsh, the wife of Thomas Carlyle. According to anthologist Martin Gardner, "Jenny kiss'd Me" was written during a flu epidemic, and refers to an unexpected visit by the recovered Hunt to the Carlyle household and being greeted by Jenny.
