1
I shot an arrow in the air, 我向空中射了一箭，
It fell to earth, I knew not where; 它已落到地面，我不知道其去向；
For so swiftly it flew, the sight 因它飞得如此地快速
Could not follow it in its flight 视力无法跟得上它的飞驰。
2
I breathed a song into the air, 我向空中轻歌一曲，
It fell to earth, I knew not where; 它已落地而停，我不知其去向；
For who has sight so keen and strong, 谁有这么敏锐的视力，
That it can follow the flight of song?
能跟得上歌声的飞驰？
3
Long, long afterward, in an oak 很久，很久以后，在一棵橡树上，
I found the arrow still unbroke; 我发现它依然完好无损；
And the song, from beginning to end, 而这首歌，从头到尾，
I found again in the heart of a friend 我发现又深印在一位友人的心上。
