  1. It’s a green hollow, where a river is singing
    Crazily hanging on the grasses rags
    Of silver; where the sun, from the proud mountain,
    Is shinning: it’s a little valley bubbling with sunlight.

    A young soldier, his mouth open, his head bare,
    And the nape of his neck bathing in cool blue watercress,
    Is sleeping; he is stretched out on the grass, under the skies,
    Pale in his green bed where the light falls like rain.

    Feet in the gladiolas, he is sleeping.Smiling like
    A sick child would smile, he takes a nap:
    Nature, rock him warmly: he is cold.

    Fragrances do not make his nostrils quiver;
    He sleeps in the sun, hand on the breast,
    Peacefully. He has two red holes in his right side.
