How does the picture of the soldier describe the tragedy of War-explain?
The poem “Asleep in the
valley” describes a soldier, lying dead in a sunlit valley keeping his
body in the sunny bushes. He has kept his mouth open. There is an innocent
childish smile prevailing on his face. The soldier lies keeping head on fern,
his feet in the flowers and a hand on his chest. Readers guess something wrong
and when the poet refers two red holes they understand that they have rightly
guessed . The pathetic scene of the premature death of the soldier illustrates
the cruelty of war which is nothing but wresting of young precious lives.

Why does the poet compare
the soldier’s smile to the smile of an infant?
In the poem “Asleep in the valley” a oldier is presented lying on a sunlit valley keeping his mouth open. An
innocent childish smile prevails on his face. The anti-war poet makes this
comparison only the depict the tragedy of the young dead soldier as well as
war which wastes previous lives. The
poet describes his smile as “without guile”. That means there is no
pretension in his smile. Rather there are some dishonest politicians who
pretend of doing welfare of their country by sending young people in the war.
Only for them the youngs have to lose
their lives early. But after their death the politicians donot care for them or
their families. So, through this comparison the poet indirectly attacks those
who destroy precious lives to satisfy their own intention.
