Hope is the thing with feathers -
That perches in the soul -
And sings the tune without the words -
And never stops - at all
And sweetest in the Gale-is heard -
And sore must be the storm -
That could abash the little Bird
That kept so many warm -
I've heard it in the chillest land -
And on the strangest Sea
Yet - never - in Extremity,
It asked a crumb - of me.
-"Hope is the thing with feathers,"
Emily Dickinson
