The beginning starts out saying (not a direct quote but close) “Archery is not a sport that is mastered by pure physical strength.” And ends in something like “for the archer is trying to connect with the inner self.”
If anyone can direct me to a path where I can find this poem I would really appreciate it. |
Hi there,
not sure about the poem you were looking for, but perhaps the one I've just made up will do?
The archer stood astride the line his eyes were fixed and still,
From concentration on his face 'twas clear he had a will
With bow in hand and arrow fletched, he knocked the shaft upon a string
And with his strength he stretched that bow, then let the arrow fling
Straight to the target then it flew and settled in the gold
All his arrows flew this way, for 'Bowman' he was bold
The moral of this stort is to train yourself to win
Then all your arrows will fly true and Clover you'll be in.
All the best in finding the correct one!
Malcolm
