The Arrow and the Song 箭与歌　　Henry Wadsworth Longfellow　　亨利·沃兹沃斯·朗费罗　　I shot an arrow into the air,　　我向天空射出一支箭，　　It fell to earth I knew not where;　　它飞落在不知何处的地面;　　For so swiftly it flew the sight,　　它飞驰得如此迅速，　　Could not follow it in its flight.

　　没有视线能够跟随它的脚步。

　　I breathed a song into the air,　　我向天空轻唱一首歌，　　It fell to earth I knew not where;　　它消逝在不知何处的角落;　　For who has the sight so keen and strong,　　谁的目光能够如此锐利，　　That can follow the flight of a song.

　　可以追随歌声的旋律。

　　Long,long afterwards in an oak,　　很久很久以后，在一棵橡树上，　　I found the arrow still unbroke;　　我发现那支箭依然完好如初;　　And the song, from beginning to end,　　而那首歌自始至终，　　I found again in the heart of a friend.

　　都深深印在一位朋友的心中。
