‘Men in Chains’ by Mbyiseni Oswald Mtshali
Read the poem on page 229 of Seasons Come to Pass several times and then answer the
following questions. You should also reflect on the four additional questions that appear on
page 230 of the anthology.

1. The train stopped
2. at a country station.




3. Through sleep curtained eyes
4. I peered through the frosty window,
5. and saw six men:
6. men shorn
7. of all human honour
8. like sheep after shearing,
9. bleating at the blistering wind,
10. ‘Go away! Cold wind! Go away!
11. Can’t you see we are naked?’




12. They hobbled into the train
13. on bare feet,
14. wrists handcuffed,
15. ankles manacled
16. with steel rings like cattle at the abattoirs
17. shying away from the trapdoor.




18. One man with a head
19. shaven clean as a potato
20. whispered to the rising sun,
21. a red eye wiped by a tattered
22. handkerchief of clouds,
23. ‘Oh! Dear Sun!
24. Won’t you warm my heart
25. with hope?’
26. The train went on its way to nowhere.
