Walt Whitman - Good-Bye My Fancy! lyrics

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!
