DESPISED AND REJECTED by KATHARINE LEE BATES

Poet Analysis

First Line: HOMELESS!
Last Line: WHO IS EVERY OUTCAST'S HOME.
Subject(s): JESUS CHRIST;
Homeless!The Living Bread
Hungered
While all beside were fed.
To their warm holes the foxes ran,
Birds flew to nest when the west was red,
But the Son of Man
Had not where to lay His head.

Open Door
Henceforth for all
Hungers,
Hearth and Banquet Hall
For hurt and loneliness is He
Thrust from Nazareth to roam
Vagabond of Galilee,
Who is every outcast's Home.
