Bird's Nest
A youth once heard the helpless cries
Of chicks whose nest had fallen off
A tree branch, while their parents’ sighs
Came wailingly like a rebuff
To fate and all its bitter lies.
I helped the child to mend the wrong
Which had befallen unannounced
And to restore the carefree song
Whose charming stream had been denounced
Before it could proceed too long.
I then remembered someone good
Who had once helped me in my plight
And felt fulfilled, like one who could
Allay a hatchling’s fear of flight,
As every good heart has and should.
