QUOTE : Shed no tear! oh, shed no tear!<br />The flower will bloom another year.<br />Weep no more! oh, weep no more!<br />Young buds sleep in the root’s white core.<br />Dry your eyes! oh, dry your eyes!<br />For I was taught in Paradise<br />To ease my breast of melodies,—<br /> Shed no tear.<br /><br />Overhead! look overhead!<br />‘Mong the blossoms white and red—<br />Look up, look up! I flutter now<br />On this fresh pomegranate bough.<br />See me! ’tis this silvery bill<br />Ever cures the good man’s ill.<br />Shed no tear! oh, shed no tear!<br />The flower will bloom another year.<br />Adieu, adieu—I fly—adieu!<br />I vanish in the heaven’s blue,—<br /> Adieu, adieu!<br /><br />- <i>Fairy Song</i>
