Explanation:

This question refers to Emily Dickinson's poem "Hope Is The Thing With Feathers".

In the poem, the author uses metaphor, or, more precisely, extended metaphor to compare hope to a bird. Sweet singing of the bird can be heard even in the biggest storms which suggests that hope is always there, even in the hardest periods in life.

The last stanza tells us that the bird can be seen everywhere (the chilliest land and the strangest see) but it (the bird) never asks for anything of us, not a single crumb.

That means that it's not an effort to hope for something, it doesn't cost us anything, it doesn't make us a problem. One should always hope and the bird will forever sing to us, not asking for anything in return.
