    This poem describes shooting an arrow and singing a song into the air, with both disappearing from sight as they flew. Long afterward, the author found the unchanged arrow stuck in an oak tree, and discovered the entirety of the song remembered in the heart of a friend, showing how actions and creative works can outlive their creators and find new meaning with others.

    The Arrow and the Song

    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.
    HENRY W. LONGFELLOW.
