Answers
Answer:
An anti-war poem exposes the ruthlessness and brutal business of war. Arthur Rimbaud's "Asleep in the Valley " can be called an anti-war poem in the sense that it exposes the horror and futility of war. The war is a slaughter-house for young, prospective soldiers. The poem presents the scene of a helpless young victim of war amid a lovely beautiful natural setting. A soldier, very young lies dead in a warm, graceful, sunlit valley. He is an unfortunate victim of war. Two bullets have pierced his body and destroyed all his future dreams unexpectedly. He looks all innocent, pure, simple without guile. Yet war has not spared him. This is the pity of war and its utter futility which has been expressed through the poem. Through his poem, the poet Arthur Rimbaud leaves a strong voice against the war which brings nothing but the destruction of dreams

Nature takes the utmost care of his rest. The pillow made of fern under his head gives him comfort. The green sun-soaked undergrowth serves as a soft bed. Sunrays from mountain tops keep him warm.
