Question: I remember that the first time I came into contact with this short poem was in the English textbooks of the freshman year of the university. At that time, I was called by my English teacher to read this poem. I was also pointed out by the teacher.

Hold fast to dreams //Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die //If dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird //Life is like a bird with its wings broken
That can never fly //Can never fly
Hold fast to dreams //Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go //If dreams go away
Life is a barren field //Life is like a barren wilderness
Frozen only with snow //Snow is covered with ice, everything no longer grows
