For my project I did the following poem : The Beggar
By gates of an abode, blessed,
A man stood, asking for donation,
A beggar, cruelly oppressed
By hunger, thirst and deprivation.
He asked just for a piece of bread,
And all his looks were full of anguish,
And was a cold stone laid
Into his stretched arm, thin and languished.
Thus I prayed vainly for your love,
With bitter tears, pine and fervor,
Thus my best senses, that have thrived,
Were victimized by you forever!

Speaker:The Speaker of the poem is a first person who explains the bitterness of man who is looking for some type of happiness.
Imagery-”And all his looks were full of anguish” I think the reader mentions this in the poem after all you can see the man pain. “He asked just for a piece of bread” The man only wanted a piece of bread that's all he asked for he was starving, sad and helpless.
Figurative Language- And all his looks were full of anguish(metaphor) Into his stretched arm, thin and languished(metaphor).
Tone- I feel that this poem tone is downhearted in the poem it states a homeless man, who lives by asking for money or food. The man seems to be suffering with emptiness of food in his system, looking wear down suffering because of something.
