"The Zulu Girl" is a poem by South African poet Roy Campbell that describes the plight of a young Zulu girl living in poverty and oppression. In each stanza, the poet highlights different aspects of her life, such as her hunger, physical labor, and the despair she faces as a result of the colonial system. The poem also conveys a sense of resilience and strength in the face of adversity, portraying the Zulu girl as a symbol of hope and endurance in the midst of hardship.
