Okay, the idea of the enjambment is that it emphasises the line break.
so the emphasis of his 'advantage' over St. Francis is that he's not dead. It's not much of an advantage. So the enjambment highlights this irony, showing how poor the beggar's condition is.
If you need more help, please ask.

I am confused on what the tone is at the end of the poem? and what we say after ''to understand the message from St.Francis instead of glorifying him'' in the conclusion. :S

Ruined temple is a metaphor. Firstly, the word 'ruined' relates to the physical state of the beggar - incomplete, broken. Secondly, the idea of the temple is that the body is often called the temple of the mind - despite all his problems, the beggar is still a person. Finally, the idea of a temple is a place of worship - if St. Francis had been alive, he would have devoted his time to the beggar instead of the church.
Tone at the end of the poem? It's ambiguous. There's both positive and negative things going on. And I think you can end it after 'glorifying him'.

For the last bit of the essay do you just finish with saying how the author uses techniques to show the message of the poem is clear, and thensay what the message is, or is there more to add ?

see the pragraph about the beggar being described as a dwarf what else do you need to say apart from that the word dwarf is politically incorrect as it has negative connotation and that the author is suggesting the beggar is almost inhuman ?

"This simile shows the final feelings of the speaker towards the beggar. Firstly this shows the reader as someone who means what they say. We know this as he is compared to a child and children are very honest. The beggar is better than the priest and the tourists as he is honest and means what he says however the priest and the tourists are disingenuous as anything they have said has been superficial. "
i just wrote this as an explantion for the quote "said Grazie in a voice as sweet/as a childs" but im not sure it makes sense. ive said that the speaker is someone who means what they say like a child but is it not the beggar who is supposed to be compared to a child :S
