“The Silken Tent”
she is as in field a silken tent
At midday when the 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 everything 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.
• Frost uses the sonnet, a very old form of poetry,
his language in the poem is simple and modern.
• The poem consists of an extended metaphor,
sometimes known as a “conceit.”The poet’s lover
is compared to “silken tent” that has been set up
in a field.
• The tent’s “supporting central cedar pole” seems
to stand almost by itself, without the help of “any
single cord.”This signifies “the sureness of the
soul”—the lover’s confident self-reliance.
•She looks as if she were in the
silken tent . Time is good and the
sunny summer breeze dries the dew
and allowing the tent to gently
sway in the breeze and its cedar
pole, which support to stand
straightly is standing straightly
towards the sky. It signifies the
assurance of the soul.
• seems to tightened by a single cord
but it is not held by any cord. it loosely
bound by the silken ties of love and
thought to everything around the
world.
• The main theme of Frost’s “The Silken Tent”
is that there is a strength and individuality
within the soul off the women.
• The setting of the poem casts the tent alone
in the center off woman’s character stands
out. The repeated idea, or the theme, in this
poem is a testimony to the independent and
strong spirit of women.
