THE ARROW AND THE SONG

Home 9 Composers 9 Stephanie Martin 9 THE ARROW AND THE SONG

“I shot an arrow into the air, It fell to earth, I know not where;”
You’ve heard the famous poem by H.W. Longfellow but you’ve never heard it rendered with such class. This is a golden nugget for choirs.

LYRICS

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 unbroke; 
And the song, from beginning to end, 
I found again in the heart of a friend.

poem
H.W. Longfellow
