Analysing Textual Poems 13

Read the following lines from ‘The Arrow and the Song’ and answer the
questions that follow:
I 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 unbroken;
And the song, from beginning to end,
I found again in the heart of a friend.
1. Why did the speaker say that he did not know where the song fell?
2. Where did the speaker find the song long afterwards?
3. How was the arrow found in the oak tree?
4. Write the rhyme scheme followed in the stanza.
