arrow and a song

i shot an arrow into the air
it fell to earth i knew not where,
for so swiftly it flew its sight
could not follow in its flight

i breathed a song into the air,
it fell to earth i knew not where
for so keen and strong
could not follow its song

long long after word in an oak,
I found an arrow still unbroke
and the song from beginning to end,
i found again in the heart of a friend.
