What happens in the poem "The Hawk" is the following:
In the poem "The Hawk" by A. C. Benson, a bird notices there is a hawk hunting. She tries to hide and wait for him to go away, but the hawk finds her and catches her.
"The Hawk" is an eight-line poem. The rhyme scheme is ABAB CDCD.
We can say there are two characters in the poem: the bird and the hawk.
The bird stops singing once she realizes there is a hawk flying around. She is trying to hide to avoid becoming his prey.
However, the hawk still finds her and catches her, even though she tries to fly away and escape.
In the end, the speaker says, "<em>For the hawk at eve was full, and there was no bird to sing</em>."
That means, in conclusion, that the hawk caught and ate the bird.
