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.

The arrow and the song shows that the arrow is like a friend that has gone away. That it went away so fast

that he didn't know that it had left. When he breathes a song into the air, it seems to me like he is trying to

find it. Then when he finds the arrow in a tree stuck, and still unbroken, that he still had a heart of a friend.

How it made me feel is how he still tried to find his friend, after that it flew out of sight. 

1. I found again in the heart of a friend. - I like how he says that he still has the heart of his friend after trying to find for so long. 

2. Could not follow it in it's flight- The arrow, or his friend went away so fast that he could not follow it in it's tracks. 

3.  It fell to the earth I knew not where; The the song he sung wasn't able to be found by his friend.
