The Sleeper of the valley

the Sleeper of the valley is a Poème of Arthur Rimbaud, published in the collection Poésies .

It is a hole of greenery where a river sings,
Madly hanging to grasses haillons
Of money; where sun, of the proud mountain,
Shone: it is a small valley which foams of rayons.

A young soldier, stops open, naked head,
And the nape of the neck bathing in the expenses blue cress,
Sleeps; it is wide in grass, under the naked one,
Pale in its green bed where the light pleut.

The feet in the glaïeuls, he sleeps. Smiling comme
Would smile an ill child, it makes a nap:
Nature, rocks it warmly: it cold.

The perfumes do not make shiver its nostril;
He sleeps in the sun, the hand on his chest,
Quiet. He has two red holes at the right-sided
