Dancing and flying the little leaves went; Winter had called them and they were con- tent; Soon fast asleep in their earthy beds, The snow laid a white blanket over their heads. ~Baldwin Second Reader. THE ARROW AND THE SONG. I shot an arrow inte the air, It fell to earth, I knew not where: For, so swiftly it flew, the sight Could not follow it in its flight. 1 breathed a song into the air, It fell to earth, I knew not where; For who has sight so 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, 1 found again in the heart of a friend. ~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.
