"I SHOT AN ARROW INTO THE AIR"

I shot an Arrow into the air
It fell to earth I know not where,
For so swiftly it flew, the sight
Could not follow it in its flight.

I breath’d a Song into the air
It fell to earth, I know not where.
For who has sight so keen and strong
That it can follow the flight of a 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.                                       

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882).  When I saw our blogging theme for this week, this poem was the first thing that popped into my mind, so I decided I had to share it with you, since I have always a fan of Longfellow.  I have always loved writing poetry, but mine was never as good as Longfellow’s.  The passion I have for writing has been put into my store, Nancy’s Doll Closet.  My store sells clothing and accessories for 18 inch American Girl Dolls.  I love making the doll clothes I design, but I also offer manufactured clothing and accessories.  So, if you ever have the time, it would be an honor to have you stop by.  My online store is open 24/7.
