THE ARROW AND THE SONG.
_ I shot an arrow into the air, _ It fell to earth. I knew not where; fj j| For. so swiftly it flew, the sight II !f Could not follow it in its flight. 1 ;j I breathed a song into the air, fj o Tt fell to earth, 1 knew not where; p jj For who has sight so keen and strong H r That it can follow 7 the flight of song? J fj Long, long afterward, in an oak, jj = I found the arrow, still unbroke; B And the song, from beginning to end, I found again in the heart of a friend. H. W. LONGFELLOW.
