The Arrow And The Song

(by H. W. Longfellow)

I shot an arrow into the air,
It fell to earth, I knew not where;
For so swiftly¹ it flew, the sight² 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 keen³ and strong,
That it can follow the flight of a song?
Long, long afterward,⁴ in an oak⁵ I found the arrow still unbroke;
And the song from beginning to end,
I found again in the heart of a friend.
