Robert Lowell Quotes

Sleeper In The Valley
The River Sings And Cuts A Hole In The Meadow,
madly Hooking White Tatters On The Rushes.
light Escalades The Strong Hills. The Small
valley Bubbles With Sunbeams Like A Beerglass.
The Young Conscript Bareheaded And Open-mouthed,
his Neck Cooling In The Blue Watercress;
he's Sleeping. The Grass Soothes His Heaviness,
the Sunlight Is Raining In His Green Bed,
baking Away The Aches Of His Body. He Smiles,
as A Sick Child Might Smile Himself Asleep.
O Nature, Rock Him Warmly, He Is Cold.
The Fields No Longer Make His Hot Eyes Weep.
He Sleeps In The Sun, A Hand On His Breast Lies Open,
at Peace. He Has Two Red Holes In His Left Side.
