| Notes | The speaker of this short poem describes a situation during drought in an unnamed African country. Noting the poverty, lack of food, and deaths of women and children as a result of this drought, the speaker lays the blame at the feet of the 'misers of the world', who have conserved and gathered all the wealth for themselves. The failure of agriculture and traditional ways of life is expressed at the end of the poem, with the woman clutching her hoe in her hand as she lies dead. |
