FRIENDSHIP Quot

"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 unbroken;
                                                     And the song, from beginning to end,

                                                      I found again in the heart of a friend."
