Wander Far Away

A lovely discovery by Arthur Rimbaud:
----
Sensation
Through blue summer nights I will pass along paths,
Pricked by wheat, trampling short grass:
Dreaming, I will feel coolness underfoot,
Will let breezes bathe my bare head.
-----
Not a word, not a thought:
Boundless love will surge through my soul,
And I will wander far away, a vagabond
In Nature -- as happily as with a woman.
