Well, poetry is not my strong point, but in this context, I believe it means something along the lines of walking together thin (I got this idea from the hunger part)!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

In this context, I believe what is being expressed is the thin line holding them together!. Honor is preferred, yet when one is hungry it becomes easier to cross that thin line to satisfy one's hunger!. In other words, one may not believe in stealing, but during a tradegy or difficult time when one is starving, possibly to death, then stealing becomes easier and justifiable!. Therefore, lean would be a noun representing a thin line!.
