The Arrow And The Song
Poem lyrics of 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.

It's 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.

I shot an arrow into the air, It fell to earth, I know not where; But, long years after, still unbroke, I found that arrow, in the heart of an oak; I breathed a song into the air, It came to earth, I know not where; But, long years after, from beginning to end, I found that song in the heart of a friend. (Words spoken by Bascom Lamar Lunsford adapted from the poem by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow)
