Song: Yes, Mary Ann, I Freely Grant
by Amelia Opie (1769-1853)
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.
