How To Retrieve Your Deleted Notes on iPad

I just looked at my "Notes" app on my iPad, and one of my notes has vanished. I was working on a Note during a meeting and accidentally hit the trashcan at the bottom of the Notes page on my iPad. It's about a year's worth of work. Is there any way I can recover it? It's gone from my iPhone as well. Help. Please.
