The Arrow and the Song
I shot an arrow into the air –
It fell to earth, I knew not where;
For, so swiftly it flew, the sight
Could not
follow it in its flight.
I breathed a song into the air,
It fell to
earth, I knew not where;
For who has sight so keen and strong,
That it
could follow the flight of song?
Long, long afterward, in an oak
I found the arrow, still unbroke;
And the song, from beginning to end,
I found again in the heart of a friend.
[Henry
Wadsworth Longfellow]
