The Arrow and the Song

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

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 afterwards, 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.

箭与歌

亨利 瓦茨沃斯 朗费罗

我曾向天空把箭射出，

不知它会落在何处；

它飞快地划过蓝天，

摆脱了我目光的追逐。

我曾对着蓝天歌唱，

不知歌声会飘往何方；

谁有这般敏锐的视力，

能跟上歌声飞扬？

很久以后我才发现

橡树上嵌着我未断的箭；

而那首歌的每个音符，

都跳动在朋友的心间。
