Yes, Mary Ann, I Freely Grant

By Amelia Opie

Yes, Mary Ann, I freely grant,

The charms of Henry's eyes I see;

But while I gaze, I something want,

I want those eyes — to gaze on me.

And I allow, in Henry's heart

  Not Envy's self a fault can see:

Yet still I must one wish impart,

  I wish that heart — to sigh for me.
