Explore "The Arrow and the Song" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
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.
