The Silken Tent
The poem was published in A Witness Tree in 1942
and is of course written by Robert Frost. In this Robert Frost expresses his appreciation for the beauty of a girl and how
that beauty she has captivates him. It really emphasizes the role of the relationship between two people that love eachother.
He brings out that it is not any one thing that keeps this tent/love strong, it is a well rounded combination of things that
is necessary.
The song is off of a cd called When The Flowers Bloom...
by Promise of Redemption. This song is all about how a man feels about a girl. He truly longs for her everyday and feels her
presence in all that he does.
These two compositions are similar in the way that they
both discuss feelings about a their loves. Both of them also use natural things that are seen in the world, like sunsets,
the sky, and wind, to really get across the point and convey the right feeling. Both of them are also very enjoyable.

Sunsets And Pictures
|
| When The Flowers Bloom... - Promise of Redemption |
Watching the sunset with all these pictures of you
I'm watching the sun go down on the bench like we always used to
The
wind is blowing these leaves
The sky is staring at me because I'm down on my knees
Just begging for you to come home
No,
please don't go
Cause there's so many people that need you in their lives
and God, so do I
You were an angel
that we were lucky to have found
And God, doesn't know how good he's got it now
Cause girl, can't you see
I've been
up late reading these letters you gave to me
And that line that you wrote:
"I'll be with you where ever you go"
It's
one thing that's been inside my head all day
And with every breath I take I'll stare into the sky
And wonder where you
are tonight
We spent our last 12 months with heavy hearts, with open eyes
To everything in life
And as I'm watching
the sunset with all these pictures of you
You know I'm watching the sun go down
God, I need you now
You were an angel that we were lucky to have found
And God, doesn't know how good he's got it now
Cause girl, can't
you see
I've been up late reading these letters you gave to me
And that line that you wrote:
"I'll be with you where
ever you go"
It's one thing that's been inside my head all day
And with every breath I take I'll stare into the sky
And
wonder where you are
Because we love the ways, that the ways, they stay the same
It's something to rely on
Cause
life sure is not
And when you think you have an equal chance
Well life's out of your hands
It just doesn't make
sense that life is so precious
And all this time I've been wondering
Why is this supposed to be my reality
It's
not fair to her, it's not fair to me
I still pick up my phone, the first number I call is you
I can't help it, it's
just out of habit
I still pick up my phone, the first number I call is you
I can't help it, it's just out of habit
