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,

I found the arrow, still unbroke;
And the song, from beginning to end,
I found again in the heart of a friend. — Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
