Answer.
I breathed a song into the air.
It fell to earth, I knew not where;
For, who has sight to 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..
