SENSATION by ARTHUR RIMBAUD

Poem Explanation Poet Analysis

First Line: ON SUMMER EVENINGS BLUE, PRICKED BY THE WHEAT
Last Line: HAPPY AS ONE WALKS BY A WOMAN'S SIDE.
ON summer evenings blue, pricked by the wheat
On rustic paths the thin grass I shall tread,
And feel its freshness underneath my feet,
And, dreaming, let the wind bathe my bare head.

I shall not speak, nor think, but, walking slow
Through Nature, I shall rove with Love my guide,
As gypsies wander, where, they do not know,
Happy as one walks by a woman's side.
