| 12Silently one by one, in the
infinite meadows of heaven,
Blossomed the lovely stars,
the forget-me-knots of the angels.
Longfellow
I shot an arrow into the air,
It fell to earth, I know 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 & 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 in the heart of a friend.
