Good-bye My Fancy!

Good-bye my Fancy!
Farewell dear mate, dear love!
I'm going away, I know not where,
Or to what fortune, or whether I may ever see
　　　you again,
So Good-bye my Fancy.

Now for my last--let me look back a moment;
The slower fainter ticking of the clock is in me,
Exit, nightfall, and soon the heart-thud stopping.

Long have we lived, joy'd, caress'd together;
Delightful!--now separation--Good-bye my Fancy.

Yet let me not be too hasty,
Long indeed have we lived, slept, filter'd, become
　　　really blended into one;
Then if we die we die together, (yes, we'll remain one,)
If we go anywhere we'll go together to meet what
　　　happens,
May-be we'll be better off and blither, and learn
　　　something,
May-be it is yourself now really ushering me to the
　　　true songs, (who knows?)
May-be it is you the mortal knob really undoing,
　　　turning--so now finally,
Good-bye--and hail! my Fancy.
