From the text we can infer that the "castaways" are the homeless.
But seated on the benches daubed with green,
The castaways of life, a few asleep,
Some withered women desolate and mean,
And over all, life's shadows dark and deep.
The poet is saddened by their misery and turns away.
Moaning/ misery
