Poem of the Day - Part 35

 The Arrow and the Song

by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

                                        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 can 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.
