Shed no tear! O, shed no tear!
The flowers will bloom another year.
Weep no more! weep no more!
Young buds sleep in the root's white core.
Dry your eyes!
Oh dry your eyes!
For I thought in Paradise
To ease my breasts 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 bell
Ever curses the good man's ill.
Shed no tear! O shed no tear!
the flowers will bloom another year.
Adieu, adieu--I fly, adieu,
I vanish in the heaven's blue--
Adieu, adieu-
The flowers will bloom another year.
Weep no more! weep no more!
Young buds sleep in the root's white core.
Dry your eyes!
Oh dry your eyes!
For I thought in Paradise
To ease my breasts 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 bell
Ever curses the good man's ill.
Shed no tear! O shed no tear!
the flowers will bloom another year.
Adieu, adieu--I fly, adieu,
I vanish in the heaven's blue--
Adieu, adieu-
