“And blest be forever his honored name 

Who shelters an orphan from sorrow and shame!” –Explain

Answer: Here in the poem “The Orphan Girl”, the poet described a lonely, orphan girl in a very pathetic way. That girl had none to talk, none to give her shelter. In her lonely desert-like life, even she had only pain, anguish, sorrow as if she was fated to suffer them. To earn her livelihood, even that girl could not follow the wrong way coming out of her virtue’s way as she had too much shame to endure the scorn of society. She feared that that scorn of society might kill her. So it was very clear that the poet could not relate the total fact that society was not helping her at all in her problem and on the other hand, that same society had the right to scorn the girl. Under such circumstances, the poet gave a message for the people of our society with an appeal. He said that if any man gave her shelter, warmth, that man’s name would be glorified and would be preserved in golden words.
