Asleep In the Valley

Asleep In the Valley Substance pdf

It is a beautiful green valley, through which a silvery stream flows on. There are lush green

fields of grass on both sides of it. The valley is lit up by sunrays falling from the top of a mountain. In it a very young soldier is found asleep, with his mouth open, and his head resting on a pile of ferns. His grassy bed is warmed by the sun; but he looks pale. There are some flowers growing at his feet stretched on the ground. The poet feels that when the soldier used to smile, the smile indicated his gentle, innocent nature. He wants nature to keep the youth warm and let him enjoy the

peace of his last sleep. He notices two bullet wounds on the side of the soldier's body and realises that he has been killed in war.

Asleep In the Valley Title pdf

The poem was originally written in French and its French title is Le Dormeur du Val, which

literally means the (male) sleeper of the valley. The title in English, 'Asleep In The Valley'

slightly changes the meaning and does not indicate whether the sleeper is a male person or a female one. The content of the poem, however, makes it clear that the sleeper is a young soldier. He has fallen asleep forever, because he is killed by two bullets in his side. The title draws attention to both the sleeper and the valley in which he is lying in his last sleep. The valley is green and a silvery stream is flowing through it. The field is full of ferns and it provides a soft bed to the sleeper. There

are also flowers growing around him. But the sleeper is lying open-mouthed and unconsciousof the surroundings. But at last he is covered with peace in a peaceful atmosphere. Yet it is a pity that the peace has been earned through death. The context of the violence of war is in sharp contrast to the gentle and beautiful valley. The title is thus highly suggestive and not merely descriptive.
