Hunger Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDBEFGHDIEJKLMNKGC| I come among the peoples like a shadow | A |
| I sit down by each man's side | B |
| None sees me but they look on one another | C |
| And know that I am there | D |
| My silence is like the silence of the tide | B |
| That buries the playground of children | E |
| Like the deepening of frost in the slow night | F |
| When birds are dead in the morning | G |
| Armies trample invade destroy | H |
| With guns roaring from earth and air | D |
| I am more terrible than armies | I |
| I am more feared than the cannon | E |
| Kings and chancellors give commands | J |
| I give no command to any | K |
| But I am listened to more than kings | L |
| And more than passionate orators | M |
| I unswear words and undo deeds | N |
| Naked things know me | K |
| I am first and last to be felt of the living | G |
| I am Hunger | C |
