| Notes | The speaker of the poem celebrates the charity work ongoing in Covenant House, New York, on behalf of homeless and poor children of the city. The poem describes how many children, like small birds, fall from the 'nest of hope', and are returned there by the charitable works of Covenant House, a charity which is still extant. The speaker of the poem invokes Christ to care for the stray children of the city. |
