The arrow and the song

<

C         Csus  C  F       C
I shot an arrow    into the air
C          F                 C
it fell to earth, I knew not where;
C       F      Dm              C
for, so swiftly   it flew, the sight
C         Csus  C   F      C
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.
