Shed no tear! oh, shed no tear![Love this. Also, U-Choir sang a setting of this at the St. Paul's concert, which was pretty much amazing.]
The flower will bloom another year.
Weep no more! oh, weep no more!
Young buds sleep in the root’s white core.
Dry your eyes! oh, 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 fresh pomegranate bough.
See me! ’tis this silvery bill
Ever cures the good man’s ill.
Shed no tear! oh, shed no tear!
The flower will bloom another year.
Adieu, adieu—I fly—adieu!
I vanish in the heaven’s blue,—
Adieu, adieu!

Sang this? To what tune? It would sound lovely to music, though.
Just one section of it. I'll link you to the youtube video (which, sadly, isn't the university choir, but it's still good).
