This poem and this song are (metaphorically) about one of the great questions:
Do we have free will? Or, are we always guided by those who went before?
And what is our influence on those who come after?
The setting is a snow-filled, bowl-shaped clearing in a quiet winter wood,
and the diction is an open imitation of Robert Frost.
