I think the Frost lyrics sound good, but Silvestri's are accidentally brilliant. Frost tells a definite story that just doesn't fit the haunting quality of the song. Silvestri's were written about watching his son fall asleep, and became a beautiful tribute to the end of a life, "as I surrender unto sleep."
I think it totally sucks that the whole copyright battle went down with this piece. It is an amazing arrangement and really does the poem justice. Why the Robert Frost estate would have denied this beautiful work the right to exist is beyond me.
I am a new college student who has played the band arrangement twice, and analyzed the poem in high school. I immediately saw the connection, and was disappointed by the new lyrics. This recording brings out the full musical meaning originally intended by Whitacre. When band members ask to hear the choral version, this is the video I give them. Thank you!
Stunning....truly one of a kind and an obvious gem, regardless if Frost or Silvestri wrote the lyrics. Both are masterpieces of a higher level than we normaly see. Congrats to Eric Whitacre for sheer brilliance.

His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound's the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.
The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
