Goodbye My Fancy!

Goodbye 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 Goodbye 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—Goodbye my Fancy.
