THE SILKEN TENT, by ROBERT FROST Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: She is as in a field a silken tent Last Line: Is of the slightest bondage made aware Subject(s): Love - Erotic; Love; Tents | ||||||||
She is as in a field a silken tent At midday when a sunny summer breeze Has dried the dew and all its ropes relent, So that in guys it gently sways at ease, And its supporting central cedar pole, That is its pinnacle to heavenward And signifies the sureness of the soul, Seems to owe naught to any single cord, But strictly held by none, is loosely bound By countless silken ties of love and thought To every thing on earth the compass round, And only by one's going slightly taut, In the capriciousness of summer air, Is of the slightest bondage made aware. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE TENT ASTRONOMER by DAVID BOTTOMS OMAR, THE TENTMAKER by OLIVER MURRAY EDWARDS THE SCHEIK OF SINAI IN 1830 by FERDINAND FREILIGRATH A BOY'S TENT by MALLEVILLE HALLER LITTLE GREEN TENTS by WALT MASON THE TENT by RICHARD MONCKTON MILNES AT HIS WINTRY TENT by JAMES WHITCOMB RILEY INITIATION by LAURENT TAILHEDE |
