Hello, everyone Please help me
My professor ask me to answer few question .

The Arrow and the Song
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 breathed a song into the air,
It fell to earth Iknow 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 begining to end,
I found again in the heart of a friend.

What kinds of this poem about?

The arrow is a material object. A song comes from your feelings and emotions and, as such, cannot be grasped. But a friend hearing your song (which possibly would remind them of you) embraces and remembers it.
I think, in the very broadest sense, this poem is about the value and worth of the intangible. Just because you can't see or catch hold of something doesn't mean that it doesn't "hit home".

When a person is young things can be done and said and then forgotten as if the wind whisks them away to unknown places. As you get older you may come across a person who may remember certain things you may have said that may have had an impact on his/her life and that person will have remembered you. you may come across something that you have done away with in your past and have forgotten it, but coming across it may remind you of dreams you may have once had and the trials and tribulations you have encountered to reach your goals.
