“Hope”Is the Thing with Feathers
“Hope” is the thing with feathers--
That perches(1)in the soul--
And sings the tune without the words--
And never stops--at all--
And sweetest--in the Gale(2)--is heard--
And sore(3)must be the storm--
That could abash(4)the little Bird
That kept so many warm--
I've heard it in the chillest(5) land--
And on the strangest Sea--
Yet,never,in Extremity(6),
It asked a crumb(7)--of Me.
---Emily Dickinson
