While words with multiple syllables do have an internal stress patterns, stress is more a matter of the role a word plays in a sentence. Often a writer who is sensitive to this will recast a sentence just to make the stress fall on one word rather than another, or two have stress fall on two related words. No single syllable word is inherently stressed or unstressed, it is all about how the rhythm of the sentence or the verse creates stress.
