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 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.
