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! Oh! dry your eyes! For I was taught in Paradise To ease my chest 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 cures the good man's ill. Shed no tear! O, shed no tear! The flowers will bloom another year. Adieu (Bye), adieu—I fly, adieu, I vanish in the sky’s blue— Adieu, adieu! Why is someone in the poem sad?

They were pretty cute, and the way they walked was quite funny. I guess I should have realized something was up for at one point I crawled into a bubble window to see the inside of the tank, and all the penguins swam over towards me. For a second, I thought they were pointing at me, but as I turned to tell my Dad, the keeper arrived with a bucket of fish, and they all swam off towards her. Why did the penguins swim toward the zoo keeper?
