‘Asleep in the Valley’ is undoubtedly a war poem. But the after-effect of war is subverted by the poetic techniques of the poet. The poet uses subtle techniques to make the war ravaged valley appear bearable. The poet, through this poem, speaks of many things like death, war and life. But mostly, he chooses to focus on the life retained after war is waged and destruction is wrought. The poet’s dilemma here is to either choose death or life, and he chooses life. But with the choice comes the inevitable threat of death. His poem then entangles itself in a dialogue between life and death and uses ‘sleep’, which encompasses both, to provide the main symbology of the poem. We can also see in this poem, the birth of the Symbolist tradition.
