亨利·沃兹沃斯·朗费罗

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 the sight so keen and strong，

That it can follow the flight of a 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.

引弓射蒼穹，

箭落不知处;

箭飞何其速

眼力不可逐。

哼歌向长空，

声飘不知处;

谁具如电眸，

可与歌相逐。

他日橡树上，

箭插仍未折;

当年轻哼歌，

友人心中和。
