The Arrow and the Song (Poem 2)


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]
