Today, we're taking a closer look at The Arrow and the Song, first published in 1845.The poem was initially included in Longfellow's collection titled The Belfry of Bruges and Other Poems which is 122 pages of poems, songs and sonnets.
When "The Arrow and the Song" was first published, it was well-received by the reading public. Longfellow was already a popular poet, and this particular work resonated with many due to its simple, but deep meanings by way of metaphor, alliteration and assonance among other literary devices.
From a personal development perspective the short, but thought provoking poem provides valuable insights and lessons that are relevant, even today..
