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?
