Classic Poem

Shed no tear--O shed no tear!
The flower will bloom another year.
Weep no more--O weep no more!
Young buds sleep in the root's white core.
Dry your eyes--O dry your eyes!
For I was taught in Paradise
To ease my breast of melodies--
Shed no tear.

Overhead--look overhead
'Mong the blossoms white and red,--
Look up, look up--I flutter now
On this flush pomegranate bough--
See me--'tis this silvery bill
Ever cures the good man's ill--
Shed no tear--O shed no tear!
The flower will bloom another year.
Adieu--Adieu--I fly, adieu,
I vanish in the heaven's blue--
