I shot an arrow into the air,/It fell to earth, I knew not where;/For so swiftly it flew, so swiftly it flew,/The sight could not follow it in its flight!/For, so swiftly it flew,/The sight could not follow it,/The sight could not follow it in its flight./I breath’d 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!/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;/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./And the song from beginning to end,/I found again in the heart of a friend/I found again in the heart of a friend. | |
