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-- Adieu, Adieu! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...EARTH'S ANSWER, FR.
