In this poem, there are five different speakers: Leaden sky, the North (wind) , Sickness, Death and poet... Hardy uses archaic words and poem is traditional as a form. Hardy points out that even if the speakers of this poem are slaves (subalterns) , the human being should accept their positions/situations. Also Hardy emphasizes that there are lots of pain in human's life and God is irresponsible, indifferent. Hardy questions that if there is a God, why there is so much pain in this world. Then he answers: There is so much pain, because the God does not hear/see anything. God is indifferent.
In the last stanza, there is a mature acceptance... Sky, Wind, Sickness and Death are powerful (more powerful than the human beings) but they are also subalterns...
I like this poem and I wanted to share my ideas...
Best Wishes
